We have lift off.....NO not as we should!
Having real probs at the moment with my car. The timing is all out, I have problems starting the car sometimes takes up to 10 turns, so ( new Battery purchased) but it has been back firing : ((( I have problems with the revs staying at 1000……drops and cuts out ( have had to increase them to keep the car ticking over) but it is all getting worse, I use the car everyday for work so need it sorted !….So where do I start please ? Guessing the usual of spark plugs and filters ??

the usual stuff first i would have thought mate.
check and clean electrical contacts
check dizzy and rotor arm
plugs
filters
check fuel pump
is this on carbs by any chance?
good luck with mate….

It's a GTi so I assume it's not carbs.
