Good evening,
First off my little golf ordinary golf mk 4 td gt tdi pd 130 2002 gold or sandy coloured, it says beige on the docs but I dont think thats how its colour should be described anyway, the missus and I love it. Its still immaculate, had it for over 10 years, and looked after it no matter what the cost, but I've had a few problems with loss of power, and the tickover being lumpy to say the least, sounds like its misfiring but not. .Anyway I though I'd kick myself in the butt and sort her out so I whip her up for an mot on Friday bein as its been garaged for months and lol she flew through....I was gobsmacked but happy so may I say what a lovely day its been, so this weekend, Ive managed to sort out the window that broke because of the plastic clips in the frost for a tenner and another £8 for metal glass holder/brackets rather than plastic ones that broke in the frost (Well worth doing). But I havent managed to sort the lumpy tickover with a little shakiness, and when switched off sounds like a mounting is broken and a sort of clattering sound for a second, if that. So I did the compression which was slightly down on one cylinder so I have changed the camshaft and the lifters as I read that they dish from cam wear then did compresssion test and that was now fine, But it still ticked over shakily, so I changed the loom in the head, still it ticked over like a bag of bolts checked all the engine and gearbox mountings and theyre fine, so Im down to the last few things it could be but firstly let me say that I have noticed if I hold the tickover up its fine, so before I go blaming the dual mass flywheel could anyonesuggest anything else that could be wrong please
