'01 GTI GLX STARTING PROBLEM

Jun 19, 2004 2 Replies

My 2001 GTI GLX will start and instantly die when the key returns to run position. It will then start and run with the second try. This happens with a warm engine about 50% of the time. It came on gradually. Could it be low battery voltage (my son has a 980W amplifier setup) or a bad ignition switch?

Need to get your codes read. Could be your Mass Air Flow sensor.

Hello all: I've got an 86 Cabriolet that is shooting grease around the driver's side CV joint area. I've got a little up and down play in the wheel, and my axle has a bit of rotating movement, but car makes no obvious noises or has any driving irregularities) I'm assuming my outer CV joint needs replacement, but my question is: Is this potentially dangerous (like the CV joint cracks, collapsing the front wheel) or is it something that will be fine till I get around to replacing it, and will be obvious when it's really bad..??? Much appreciated Tomm Scalera
