Troubles with Golf MKI Cabrio 1991

[vwspirit]

I have opened the bonnet many times but I don't know yet what every thing is.
I knew that buying this car I would have to open it's bonnet a couple of times and get to know what part is what and how the car works. It s also one of the reason why I bought that car.

I will join the "realm of tinkering" as Campaign said and get to identify this black cable and where the vaccum leak could be. Having a rough idle it's prett sure that there is a leak.

Thanks for all the posts and I'll let you know what's going on with the car. Although I am pretty sure that I'll end up going to Golf Loon or call mrlex for some help. It's my first car and I don't know about mechanics yet but I'm keen do dirty my hands and learn about it.


I will post some pics of the car pretty soon.

Cheers again

I reckon you should take the car to Golf Loon. There is a difference between worrying and tinkering. Tinkering is playing with the car, repairing it becomes a worry for the tinkerer.

The other great art of the tinkerer is the ability to get into the workshop and look over the shoulder of the mechanic and ask enough questions without being thrown out or increasing the cost of the repair. It'll take practice.
