Hello all
I have been here before see thread ,
http://www.vwaudiforum.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?p=571814#post5well
Following on from that, I was lousing water but was unable to find the leak, also when I put my foot on the gas (stationary) just to raise it above 1000/ removing my foot, the revs kept increasing after I had removed my foot (almost to 2000) before dropping back. This was in December.
I then put a bit of dry cardboard under the engine and had it running for a while without detecting anything, maybe worth noting that the water cap was always tight and when released there would be quite a vacuum before it settled .
After I took the car back the garage said they removed the head again and said they found some small matter on the gasket which may have caused the water to get into the oil. and the over revving should be all ok, I had another water drop after that but after topping that problem may have sorted itself. its worth mentioning that I am a pensioner and don't do a lot of miles as when I use to work and any problems I think will take longer to appear, when we had very cold mornings i took a lot of trys before it would start, but as we havent had cold days as before pre Christmas so i am not having that at the mo.
Well up to date my car to my way of thinking is not running in the smooth way that I was accustomed to, before even on cold mornings the choke was much lower to the point where I sometimes wondered if the auto choke was on but I would always hear when the engine tone change as the auto choke was kicked off, now when i start the car I think the choke is too apparent with lumpy running and a flaffing sound.
Also when I press the gas now and take it off the engine revs does not change at the point where I remove my foot but stays for (not increasing)a second or more before dropping back to slighty above 1000 revs
this is really puzzling me, the garage has spent a lot of time on this car.
I very much hope some of the people here mechanic/engineers can educate me as to what's the problem is (if its getting another injector/ adjustments/head needs looking at again/or the problems are just in my head. car by the way is a VW Golf 1.8 Driver 1993 reg, sorry for long post
TIA
ps anyone knows of any vw specialist in london walthamstow/chingford area?
