Engine Problems..

Recommended Posts

Fearon

Just picked up a 205 GTi, phase 2, 1.6....

 

 

Got a lil niggle..

 

 

Takes a while to start on the key, when cold.....

 

I would say atleast 5 seconds, then kinda struggles, so you have to help rev her up...

 

Then, she will stall..

 

It will start back up fine, but for a few moments, you have to idle it....

 

Im thinking this is a common problem... But how can i cure this niggle..

 

Thanks

Sounds like SAD (choke) problem :) which is common malfunction ..

 

Search button will reveal loads of threads regarding this subject :lol: but for the beginning , start up the engine from stone cold and try squeezing the SAD pipe in order to check if it's working (if it works the engine will stall a bit when you squeeze the pipe) and look around the SAD pipework if you can find loosen clip or perished air pipe .

 

Damir :P

I've got an SAD kicking around if you're interested.

Have a read first on all the known issues - it's quite a common thing on the old 8v.
