Chris VR6nos 0 Posted June 13, 2006 Gaz, there's a lovely little trick that helps when you have rattly followers becaure of neglect, you run the rngine up to temp until the fan cuts in then you hold the revs at 2000for a minute then 3000 for 1 minute or just 3000 for 1 minute, can't remember exactly, H8RRA has the little white/blue engine manual and it's a gem for engine info like that and it worke excellently. I'll find out and let you know. Share the wealth of knowledge! Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

M15 VW 0 Posted June 13, 2006 Thought all 2.9s had coilpacks and the early golfs were the ones that had dizzys Nope, you can have either dizzy or coil pack OBD1 Golfs or Corrados. ah right ok. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris VR6nos 0 Posted June 13, 2006 Yip you could do that but just as easy and more practical to listen to see if it works by having the bonnet up and standing by it but either way i guess. Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
