It idles fine bud or be it a bit high. It dies when your driving and change down from 3 to 2 or when you come to a stop. It doesn’t die at speed changing gear, only at low speed.

Mine doesn’t have an idle control valve bud. It idles fine bud, although it does idle a bit high. I’ve got the idle screw all the way in an it still sits at 1000rpm. It drops a bit when warm but...
Hi guys, I got the Gsi mot?d but driving it about it keeps dying when slowing an changing to second. Or when stopping at a junction. It fires back up, sometimes a bit reluctantly but never refused to...
Yep the pump primes, but it won’t fire on the first turn of the key, always on the second. The only way I can describe it is like driving an old car with manual choke. You know how they sometimes...
Fuel pump relay is brand new bud. It’s a proper mystery. Would over fuelling have the same effect, making it cough an splutter ?
I’d comfortably rule out the fuel filter an cts as they are both new. I’m pretty confident when I checked the afm pipe before I put it back together it wasn’t split. The one thing I am questioning is...
Hi guys I had the engine rebuilt an it starts an runs. However when I drive it if I change gear / slow for a junction, then push the accelerator to go again it bogs down bordering on stalling....

Cheers Ian it's a gsi so external fuel pump. I'll be keeping it that way as it's all staying factory spec. I was just interested to see what clips and pipe went where
I'm looking for some pictures of the under side back end. I'm starting to think about fuel hose replacement on my rebuild and could do with some pictures of the routing and what clips are used and...
Cheers Charlie and Adam I think I was on the right track but happy to get your advice. Thanks for the offer adam I've got to buy the clips tomorrow so I'll see if the pliers are cheap if not I'll...
Hi guys I'm rebuilding my driveshafts, I'm reusing my old cv's. I need to know how much grease to put back in. I cleaned out most of the old stuff but a little remains, the new boots did come with...

As above anyone know how this is done. I have tried threaded rod with nuts and washers with no joy
Cheers Richard
Cheers fella, so it's not far out if I give the hub a quick wire wool it should be ok
Hi guys
