I think ive sorted the "misfire". Went to my local GSF in Norwich and got new leads, plugs, rotor arm, cap and to top it off four injector seals. I mentioned before that the dizzy looked new, well the cap and plugs didnt look too bad either, but when i tried to remove the coil lead to change it, the top of the coil came off with it!-Oil poured out from it and i thought "YES" thats the problem. Took it for a drive and all was fine then after 1 mile it chugged a bit and was running very lumpy. *ollocks i thought and dipped the clutch and the engine stalled. As the car was still rolling i dropped the clutch and it started again, it sounded quite rough again so i floored the throttle and revved the nuts of it and all of a sudden, it cleared itself!? Its been okay ever since and im chuffed, ive since added some injector cleaner to the tank-alls well, for now..........

Tried my Golf seats yesterday, looked good but they coulndt be adjusted due to the knob being so tight up against the centre console.

Thanks guys, service it is then! I'll let you know if this sorts it.(The leads dont look great) Hey "bcstudent" (Tips hat to a fellow Norfolk boy)

Done a search for this and nothing sounds similar......... Start the car from cold, runs, drives, accelerates no problems..... When warm and under hard acceleration, @ approx 4k the car seems to miss and hold back, under gentle throttle this doesnt occur. The warmer the car gets, eg.stood running for a while the worse the misfire gets and occurs lower down the rev range, say@3k. Ive just bought the car so dont know too much about it other than its filthy and needs some TLC but it appears to have a new dizzy. Everything i do to the car makes it better so its quite satisfying :) cheers in advance for any advice jim

My advice is stick to Recaro if your changing the factory seats. Will MK 2 GTI seats fit? I have a mint interior from a 91 model and if they fit, i might get them leathered. Every time i want to do something outside, it chucks it down. :cry:
