Hi there. My buddy has a Golf GTi 2.0 8V, M reg, he has just had a car alarm fitted. But he told me that when the guy came to pick the car up, it wouldnt start, and it stalled, a couple of times, The car had been sitting for a day or so. when the car alarm fitter came to deliver the car.
The petrol was very low, whether that is of any relevance, would it suck up rubbish ? When he filled up with petrol, it didnt seem to stall after that.
- Also the worrying thing is, that the Rev Counter has stuck on 20,000 even when the car is switched off, but seems to go higher when driving the car, so it seems everything is
- The MPG computer display is ver inaccurate, it says 40 Miles per gallon, when you toggle through the options on the wind screen wiper stalk.
- Also the idle speed on the Rev counter is very jerky?
I am sorry to ask all these questions, but the guy is worried,
The big question is, Are these cars reliable?
Any help is appreciated, thanks very much.
