i dont have a vag-com to pricey and dont have one to me in the area but thanks for the info would help probs if i had one
i asked a freind of mine about it and hes had a listen and told me that with the smell of fuel out of the exhaust and what its doing on start up some times and the weird noises the pump makes when it refueses to start it is the fuel pump can anybody confirm this for me.
details
the car only does this some times but it will start then die and i have to try a couple of times to get it going but it does fire up
there is a strong smell of petrol out of the exhaust
the car idles fine but it just wobbels a little bit and makes the neddle move from 900rpm shall we say to around 5-600 then its fine its not a big drop for it to cause the engine to stall but you can feel it including through the pedel but the car runs fine pick up can get 0-60 in around 6-7secs
the cars details are
