    Hi Folks new to this forum.

    I currently own an MK2 Golf ABF which I have had for around 16 years.

    I need a little bit of help, when you start her up all's good for around 15 seconds. After that it will bog down and get lumpy like it's misfiring. If I turn the engine off and back on it runs perfect and will continue to run fine all day.

    Any suggestions appreciated. :)

    If you are running one of the versions of Digifant 3.X controls, I would suggest, if mechanicals are serviceable condition, you run a scan for diagnostic faults.
    For reference, a good working Digifant control ABF engine, should run faultless and repeatable everytime, just like it would in a MK3 Golf, Seat Ibiza/Cordoba/Toledo and Passat 16v.

    Ok finally got my scanner on it which showed a few codes. I've cleared them all and it seems to be running much better now.
