Hello as you have probably read my profile you will know that I had made some upgrades.
The reason why I bought the up rated ignition leads was so that I could gain some performance and a quieter engine.
The new leads were good for about a week and then noticed the power of the car kind of disappear. I find this really dam strange but i don't think the leads have a problem since they have been individually checked to see if they are sparking.
The leads are 8mm with copper core and ZERO suppression. I did seek technical help before buying such leads and was told that with no resistance you should receive a stronger current.
I am pretty sure this is true when you understand the science behind it. Yesterday I bought a timing kit and V belt from Euro Car Parts. Got all this fitted and running. The mechanic made the adjustment to the fuel I have been using, which is BP Ultimate.
I was hoping to notice a significant change in engine sound and power. I guess the engine is sounding a little bit better but the power is somewhat still not there. I still think there could be more room for improvement on the engine sound
I have also gone to an MOT station to check the Co reading. The reading was showing 6.% too high. The technician brought the reading down to 1.339%.
Once the cold start process is over the rev needle drops well below 1000 to 800 and then back to 900. I would say that these figures are about right but I’ve still got that very annoying fluctuation of the rev counter during the warm up.
Is there a particular setting for the air and fuel mixture, maybe a factory setting? Just to point out when I had upgraded to the new performance leads I had changed over to a brand new ignition coil. I just need some HELP on where to start, I love my Scirocco, anyone out there who would be willing to help, genuinely HELP with clear and understandable advice?
The mileage on the car is about 87000. I had bought the car with 62000 on the clock. The body work is very good but the bottom of the driver side door is rusty. If possible anyone selling a Scirocco door?
