Me? Was just leaving work if so

Yeah sir.....i honked....lol

So....now I have an intermittent rapping sound coming from the motor, sound like lifter but hell I don't know, any ideas?
Its totally random when its there and gone, warm or cold doesn't make a difference,
I changed the oil when I bought the car, and its still full and cleanish.

Better yet, screw the tapping sound, last night when I got back to work I fired it up as usual, let it warm up like 5 minutes, then left and every time id give it gas it would sputter and pop, but idle perfectly, then I gave it gas, it died and wouldnt restart.
After pushing it the long ass block back to my shop, i left it there overnight and took my van home, however, this morning, it started perfectly, and ran fine all the way home.

Any ideas?

it seems ive heard something like this but i cant remember the cause.... could it be a knock sensor problem?

Ive heard throttle pos sensor
First VDub so I dunno

you need to make the problem happen again before you can continue to diag.

fyi its likely either the maf or o2.

pick up some crc maf cleaner and give it a go. if the problem becomes an issue again, disconnect the o2 and see how it drives.

Sweet, ill grab some tomorrow, thanks

New Tails

lookin good!!

from what i heard u can put that snow shovel back in shed.

It's for my wife's car hehe

whatd you do with the gti tails??!! I want!!

They are in the garage, your welcome to them if you like

ohh yes prease!

Front lowering springs are on, with new bushings and bearings, back ones wouldnt break loose yesterday so said screw it for now.

removed old exhaust with sawzall and hammer, cuz welded piping is awesome, now have a leak in the front, damn vw anyway.....

Least its quieter still.

lol vws are mad broken all the time no matter what.

Yay, now we both have leaky exhausts....I have a hole in mine now :/

golf tails look good on black.

I like em better than the old ones, they were too dark.

Winter is gone, and so is the car, have fun with it Sean.

boo you should have kept it!
