Hi guys!! Happy New Year!!!

Say after the h0se was changed after the water leak incident, the car is running fine!

maybe Im been a bit fussy, especially when the car is 22years 0ld, but there is a little thing I n0ticed!

And that is when the car is running well 0n the m0t0rway, when surging a bit m0re gas 0n the pedal I feel 0dd stutters!! yep, stutters but n0t big cutting 0ut stutters th0ugh! I cud live with it, but what can this be?? and is this seri0us?? and what cure??

The car is running 0n Shell unleaded, and the car has had a service!

what d0 y0u say guys??

Can't give you a definitive answer on this, but my other car (not a golf) can occasionally suffer from the same thing. It tends to come and go and is more frequent when the car has been running a while and is hot.

I suspect that is the HT leads on my other car so I will be swapping those for some decent new ones shortly - maybe you should get the HT leads checked on your car?

Cheers,

I would be inclined to look at the HT leads too (old wiring's resistance goes up, and this affects HT leads the most)

Check your timing if running on unleaded. Quoted from my other post:

"Volkswagen officially state all Mk1 Golfs can run on unleaded petrol with a octane rating of 95 RON or higher.

If your Mk1 Golf is a GTi, then using 95 RON unleaded will require the ignition timing to be adjusted as follows:

1.6 (EG) engine 6 deg +/- 1 deg ATDC
1.8 (DX) engine 0 deg +/- 1 deg BTDC

If you modify the ignition timing, you must mark the vehicle with a sticker PN 000 010 007F on the petrol cap/filler.

Using 98 RON unleaded will not require any timing adjustment.

If your Mk1 Golf is not a GTi, you can use 95 RON unleaded wihout any ignition timing adjustment. "
