Bikerz Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 (edited) On way to work doing 2k in 6th 40mph it just lights up. Car totaly fine (I dont drive it hard tho as its a daily).I will scan it when I get home.Anyone want to make some stabs in the dark to make me feel better or worse as case maybe?Whats the common ones with a car with a GTI 98k on the clock?TB was cleaned about 2 weeks ago with a carb cleaner and a rag, so doubting its that. EGR could be the problem. Any links on how to blank it?Could be a simple thing like plugs but will have to pull them out later.

Defcon5 Posted September 27, 2011 Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 GTI doesnt have EGR.Is it fine all the way up the rev range? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikerz Posted September 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 I was too scared to boot it as wanted to get to work. I will do on my road on way home, check for a missfire (neighbours will love me)! That way I can push it in drive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bikerz Posted September 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2011 Yeah. Well Tesco 99 RON. Maybe I should try toping it up with V power. Engine light back on again. Grrrr. Fuel filter change tomorrow and take lamba out and look at it. Should I take manifold out and one after cat out? Any advice on how to clean? Any other advice.

Bikerz Posted September 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Doing lots of research and seems pople think it could still be plugs. Tonight:Remove lamba and clean both endsRemove plugs and cleanCheck for air leaks with engine running and hand and some wd40Check spark strength(just pull out and see on block) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blitzerman Posted September 28, 2011 Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Mine engine light comes on randomly sometimes, but its due to exhaust readings being out slightly. Could have a hole forming in the exhaust somewhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikerz Posted September 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Well plugs are out and been cleaned and dont look bad (they will be changed next week as a matter of course). Throttle body doesnt look too bad and cleaned that too.Im sure its not electrical as car runs fine took to 100mph on my drive last night and ran fine. Its just this code that keeps coming back. Grr!Will go jack up now and play with the exhaust system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bikerz Posted September 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2011 Plugs are burning correctly and right colour. What blocks should I log with VAG Com to give me more of a idea whats wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
