Well, got the golf gti mk2 me and my dad have been solidly working on this week working. Gave it a test drive today and its pretty damn fast! However, there are a couple of problems that i was wondering if you guys could help me out with. The tappets are making noise - we changed the oil filter, flushed it and put new oil in and the noise quietened, but then got noisier again. When i put my foor down, the oil light on the dash came on and a buzzing noise also from the dash (wasn't there before when just the oil light was on). Also, after a few mins of driving, when driving and the revs drop (when slowing down to stop or 3 point turn or something), the car stalls.
We have pretty much reconditioned the head of the engine and don't really know whats going on now. The engine idle speed was all over the place and now its pretty stable, but when you rev the engine, the speed drops below engine idle speed nearly to stalling and then back up again (to about 800 rpm) Can anyone help me please??
Thanks, Peter
