Hey,
I have a GTi and notice of the last few weeks it been getting less responsive and sluggish. From reading this site i was steered towards that poxy coolant sensor. I changed that today but as i was changing it i found a small tear in one of the rubber air in take pipes. When i took it off to have a closer look there was an even bigger tear in the underside.
Went to the nearest VW and picked one up for 60 euro happy days. Loss of power sorted and running perfect.
The only beef i have now is ( and im hoping someone can help me ) the amount of oil in the pipe i removed. There seemed to be alot and is that normal to have some oil in the air intake pipe. Theres 65k on her.
Thanks to anyone who can tell me either to worry or relax
