Hi All, I have a problem where my golf like to stutter/misfire/hesitates and I lose power at cruising speeds. I would say it happens as I back off the throttle. When it clears it runs fine and revs out as normal. Other info: Rev counter drops when it plays up Oil leak through distributor Did head gasket recently Temp sensors replaced on head The car (Victor) did this hiccup with my 16month old daughter on board last weekend so the cars is sat in the last chance saloon. I almost cannot rely on it at the moment. I've replaced: Dizzy cap Rotor arm Leads Plugs Fuel pump relay Now I know the feed to the rev counter comes from the coil. But the cars seems fine under load, it's when I'm backing off the throttle I get the problem. My next step was going to be the distributor as it's leaking oil and I've read the hall sender could be at fault, is the the right move? Any advice would be great. Thanks Gareth
yeah dizzy should be on the list for sure, only buy proper genuine bosch ones the pattern ones are rubbish. ecp sell 16v ones for a reasonable price iirc
