Hello All,

My VW Golf has developed this embarrassing continuous jerking cough when I turn it off for about close to a minute before it finally sort of rattles and shuts down. Could it be the spark plugs?

I have attempted to find some thing in the Haynes manual but I don't know what I could be looking at.

Please could someone tell me what I could check, replace or lubricate to alleviate this annoying issue. I always use very good oil (castrol magnetec) and regularly check the water etc.

Your help and experience is appreciated.

Ben
