Re: Cold start stalling?

Thanks all. It's an auto-choke so assume it's the original Pierburg. Unfortunately I've had to spend about a grand in the last couple of months on the car and it's crippled me so I need the cheapest option available at the moment. I will give Chelmsford Alan a ring as I go out that way regularly and ...

Cold start stalling?

Two days after spending £500 to change the knackered gear box in my 1.8 1990 GTII a new problem developed! :ire: The car will start fine, revs up, revs down and stalls. I can restart but have to rev the bejebbers off it (3-4,000 revs) to keep it going and sometimes it dies again anyway. This ends up ...

Gearbox and/or Clutch?

Request for advice pur-leese.... :blush: Since I got my 1990 GTII over a year ago on long journeys I've had an issue with 5th gear jumping out - usually after about 50 miles of motorway driving. (But the quicker you go the less miles you got before it 'went'). This has gradually got worse in that if ...
