Need help

[Hobgoblin]

Hi , just bought my self a golf GTI 2.0 8v anniversary thats not running right. Cars stalls when braking and comming down into 2nd gear , especial in damp or wet weather. Im thinking it might be the idle stabilisation valve ? . Fitted new airfilter and fuel filter looks fine.

I would be grateful for any advice/help .

Ignition coil I think! Common fault after years of running. Where abouts are you located? You can purchase a new one from VW parts dealer or an imported one in for cheaper. Easy to change around (you'll need to remove your raintray cover to access the nuts).

I'm living in Newcastle, U.K, just down from Scotland. I also have a whirling sound coming from the rear nearside wheel. I have changed the disc's bearings and pads on both sides but the noise is still there. Do you have any ideas ?

As you might have guessed I am not that mechanically minded

Many thanks
