| vw said it was low compression on 2 cylinders.
but i can rev the thing standin still an its fine, just when under load above 3k. things not use oil or anythin.
might have the coil check tho as ive had a few probs with that sort stuff | |

| If it is the head get a non gen one (as I'm guessing that price is from VW), garage had one a few weeks for an l200 for sub-300 quid... | |

the thing will stutter if u use more than half throtle or go over 3k, thought it might be somethin like a coil. wont stutter if i just rev it will no load on tho then vw came up with low comp on 2 cyls an they said i need a new head lol | |

| get the spanners out, it could just need a gasket and a skim.
of course a dealer is going to tell you it needs thousands of pounds worth of work, they're not in the business for the fun of it you know! | |
