Hi Folks,
Got a bit of a problem and looking for a bit of advice...
I have a VW Golf 1.4S - Dec 2001.
Over the last couple of months it's generated a bit of a strange issue. When I turn the car on and just sit stationary, the rev counter sits between 6-11 k, but also (but not all the time) fluctuates between 6-10... revving up and down.
It also does this when I come to a halt a traffic lights, and sometimes the engine cuts out completely...but without sounding as though it's actually stalled.
I took it to a local / small independent VW garage and they said that there was no faults in the engine / computer log and that it was probably an issue with the type of fuel I have been using. They suggested even sticking with 1 garage for fuel (not to swap around) and maybe using a higher grade...
None of this seems to have made any difference, any suggestions??
