A bloke off CGTI has just set the timing and AFM up properly. F*ck me. The Golf feels like he swapped the engine whilst I was looking the other way.
The downside is, the passenger side headlamp couldn't stand the new found power, and dropped it's lense on the way home...
I didn't know you could set up an AFM, I thought they were either clean, and worked properley, or got gummed up, and worked not quite as well heh.
The Golf's AFM is a flap in a pipe. There looks to be some hot wire element to it too, but the main thing's adjustable with an allen key.
Are you sure it's not in the engine bay with Astravanman's coolant cap?
Apparently the previous owner must have left it there.
Whaaaaaaaaaa?
Sure the allen key adjustment isn't only idle mixture? Setting the spring tension is a bit hit or miss and doesn't normally need altering - unless you've increased the capacity of the engine, etc.
Might be. It's made a heeeuge difference anyway.
Zackly.
One of the things I love about this group is you state a fact and there are still people who argue. Normally because they read it somewhere but they're stating it as personally gathered info.
