Re: I'm an idiot, please help

Thanks for the replies.

I might try the throttle body myself possibly.

I'll have a little look at the starter motor to see if there is anything that looks obviously wrong, and see if I can get underneath to look at the exhaust too.

Thanks again

I'm an idiot, please help

Hello :)

I've got a strange vibration on my MKIV when the revs are around the 2500 mark, especially if the revs drop down e.g. when changing gear. At first I thought the exhaust was loose, it's that kind of noise. Although I've had that checked out, and appartently it's fine... It feels like the ...

Re: Haynes manual...

I would love a copy too, but I haven't found one online.

One bit of advice though, stay away from dll.provider. It's a fake website, they won't have the file and there's lots of reports of lots of money going missing from your credit card, which you need to give the details for when signing up

Re: Clacky tappet when engine is cold. Should we replace it?

I had exactly the same problem. Just had a service with the usual oil flush and change and I think it's OK now. The revs are all over the place that's a different story

Quite a strange thing just happened

Hello :)

I tried to start up my MKIV this morning and for the first time ever it wouldn't start. I've had the low temperature gauge problem that a few people seem to have, so I thought something might have gone horribly wrong.

Tried a second time and nothing again, but the speedometer started ...
