    VR6 Running rough. Ideas?

    Did yours crank over. From what i've seen ignition switches usually result in the car not cranking at all?

    At one point it did crank and start but like I said. It slowly died on me after a few days of noticing it. It went from starting to few cranks to start then a crank then dead. Did flicker after awhile aswell. Like I said same symptoms aswell and the ignition switch is a common problem on the mark 3s aswell. So my DIY Is there aswel if ya need it.
    Build and learn, not buy and earn.

    If you coming to VW Nats I'll scan it.
    Got myself a neat little scanner.

    I think you've probably got maybe 2or3 intermittent problems.
    But I reckon you should borrow a complete throttle body, swap with yours and put the standard iat back and run it for a few days or a week.

    Yeah. I've swapped complete throttle bodies. Twice.

    More than likely intermittent issues but I'm doubtful as the symptoms aren't the same at all.

    Won't be bringing mine down unfortunately but will be passengering down with Anthony
