VW Golf 1.6 cutting out......any ideas?

Good call

 

Why did it go to vw? For this fault or other ?

 

Failing spark plug.

 

Disconnect the egr value and see how it goes. That sorted my vw with a similar engine.

I suspect it may be a dodgy oxogen sensor. Pre cat.

 

Haha not just a pretty face then. Listen to a woman every time I say

 

I'll give it a week!

 

YET.

 

Oih, I resemble that remark.

I have a Yeti.
For me & the lass inside, they have turned out to be a fantastic buy.
Had one 3 year ago, now got one of the last ones. New model is a Karoq.

 

Difficult to diagnose. Find your reputable local vw specialist.

 

My first guess would be that it sounds like a fuelling issue. Had a similar problem on an old CB500 motorbike- always happens when you slow down for tight turns/at lights (exact places you do not want to break down).

Replace the fuel filter and check the lines are not blocked.

 

Water in fuel filter, usually have a drain screw at bottom

 

Hi Master, must agree the Yeti reviews have always been really good, just can’t understand why they only lasted about 7 years, was considering one about a year ago except I found the boot a bit small for my requirements and the fact they were being discontinued, I ended up getting the Kodiaq the Karoq was not out at the time

I know that discontinued models are usually reduced, but it’s not all good news as the resale price when you sell reflect that it’s a model not made anymore, having said that if you keep hold of your Yeti for a good few years that becomes less important, I’m sure though you have bought an excellent motor.

 

Because it was abominable?
