Hi All

We now have 3 VWs in the family as of yesterday. My son and I first got a 71 1600cc Kombi we have been restoring for 2 years now , loved it so much I went and bought myself a 76 Kombi powered by a subie EJ25 and saving money using dual gas.

I have enjoyed learning about VWs on the kombi club for a while now. So the time came to get my daughter her first car. I kept looking at Hyundai excels but the 1996 VW golf cabriolet popped up at the right price, so I grabbed it for her.

I assume I should post pics not sure how to do that, is it like KombiClub where I just copy from a Photbucket account?

Anyway its first problem is a Hot start problem and I guess i should post that in another thread

Hi All

Sorry I could not see how to make a new thread so I will just reply to this one

the gent I bought the 96 golf cabriolet from told me it often woud not start when it was hot. ( there is a lot of stuff on the web on this)
I just picked the golf up yesterday .

I cannot get it to kick over at all. Starter and battety both a real strong. I cannot see spark at the output of the coil or High tension lead at the dizzy.
I am not sure what I should expect at the low voltage side of the coil pack?
Can anyone give me some hints?

thanks paul
