Some guy flipped out when he saw the Golf today, member here?

He was flailing his arms. I was confused as hell.

Looking forward to the Brisbane Euro meet happening next weekend to meet some fellow 'enthusiasts'

Euro meet tonight was good, only 1 other mk2, was good having a chat to some other car guys. Half the crowd got spooked when security got annoyed with us being there, police showed up a little bit later and cruised through, said we were all fine and left.



Photo taken by Brisbane's bora at the Brisbane euro meet tonight. I did tweak it a little bit, hope he doesn't mind.

Mostly de-stickered now, only one remains which is the VWGolf.net.au sticker (which I've trimmed down).







Cleaning the maf and throttle body, running some injector cleaner and putting through a few tanks of good fresh fuel can do wonders...

Massive fuel leak, stuck far away from home and no money to pay the mechanic.

My life rocks.

Fuel has some how managed to get in to the throttle body, in to the oil and in to the air box. Sooo... its over fueled and pumped it into the cylinder, and then pushed it back out of one of the intake valves? I don't know how else it would get that far up the intake.

At best it will be oil change, drain out throttle body, manually turn over the motor with no plugs to try to clear out the fuel... no time to do it today of course, and no time tomorrow.

Sounds like one of the injectors is either very leaky/stuck open or the 5th injector (cold start) has gone nuts.
Are you saying the entire intake manifold is full of fuel?

Enough fuel that you can see it through the throttle body. I haven't seen it since I dropped it off, that's just what he's telling me.

When the motor is cold it tends to bog a stutter a little bit at low RPM but is fine at speed, even at WOT so yeah one of the injectors is probably being a penis.

edit: yes, fuel filling up the intake manifold. They drained it and tried again, pumped fuel straight back in to the throttle body, high enough that its squirting through the vacuum line down in to the airbox... Any ideas? I've said to stop working on it for now as they don't know much about VW's which they've openly said (that's fine).

Don't have the money for them to spend hours and hours diagnosing it, so going to have to tow it home until I can figure out what the problem is...
