sheps Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Went on a long drive yesterday about 6 hour round trip to get my new wheels. Put some 95 octane fuel in on the way back cause it was at a services an thought id fill up at shell with v - power when i got home. Got back fine then went to go out later an fill up and car was struggling to idle on start. Any how got to fuel station filled up and now its still the same. struggles at best on idle or just cuts out. Could it just be my throttle body needs cleaning? Any help greatly appreciated Sam.

sheps Posted February 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 Just been reading about this so i guess its a case of checking throttle body, acuator and any connections, to try and find the problem. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

forsh21 Posted February 28, 2010 Report Share Posted February 28, 2010 I had this problem with my gti, its was the vacuum pipe that comes from the master cyl and goes on the the engine. Mine had split and it was causing the rev's to go up and down its defo worth checking.Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
