Re: GT2 Low Idle and stall AFTER accelerating

Hi mate,

Flange is perfect, no problem there. The car can run, drive and idle fine for an hour or even a week then all of a sudden its erratic for a while, then again back to normal. It's all very random, that's what's more annoying. Mind of its own....

Mk2 Brake line help!!!

Hi guys, Unfortunately the brake lines on my mk2 1.8 rocco were rusted to hell and were removed a month ago however, where the lines run under the body and connect to the master cylinder were not noted by my dad at the time (dork!). The new lines have arrived and now need to be fitted. So just ...
