Hi there All
I am a newbie so please be gentle if my question seems silly.
I purchased last week a low mileage (33 000) Bora 2.0 SE which appears to be in good condition, overall i am pleased with the car but have experienced a couple of niggles.
The engine appears to be running very rich - very "sooty" plugs and exast colour black and sooty, Have got much lower fuel economy than expected (22 MPG combined) and the engine when hot idles at just below 900 RPM which i think is fine but is very lumpy (can feel vibration though the car) It is also Much slower that expected but this may just be down to higher expectations as i have never driven another Bora or Golf.
My initial thoughts point to either mass air flow meter or Oxygen sensor, would this be possible?? as only guessing. Can anyone recommend a good VW tech in bedfordshire who can plug it in for possible fault codes as i do not want to do the trial and error route.
Thanks in advance
