I have a mk3 GTi 8v and have recently encountered the cutting out problems that are associated with this model. After changing the cranshaft sensor the fault has occurred now for well over 3-months now touch wood!!

During that time I had the dizzy changed and it hadn't been set up right so duely sent it back to the garage for it to be corrected, which it was.

But the other week I was running on fumes and had to stop at sainsburys, I normally use BP, and now its started to hesistate on acceleration and very jumpy as if the timing was out. When it got to half tank I topped it up with BP Ultimate but no change.:1zhelp:

Oh and the fuel consumption is slghtly higher than normal, is this the timing again or the fuel? If its the timing why isn't it staying where it is.

The fuel guage is playing up as well on a full tank it goes to empty then slowly starts to go up, all related not sure.

Sorry for the book!!!!

Help................................
