Re: Golf Mk3 engine running badly at low revs

Hi. I'm afraid I can't help you but only I have a similar problem.

I have a 92 1.8CL 90000miles and recently the bearings went on the Waterpump.

Bought new waterpump and drive belts. Replaced the water pump and the aux drive belt and the power steering drive belt. Decided against replacing the timing belt after an inspection.

After I'd done the work the engine sounded beautiful (I hadn't realised how bad the waterpump had got) however now once the engine is warm (and only when warm) it doesn't idle well. At low revs it's very stuttery when driving (if I apply power or drop down a gear then it's fine) and sometimes cuts out when parking or maneouvring about.

I wonder if our problems are related or not? Anyone able to help??

Thanks.
