Hi there - Mr G from South Africa and I would appreciate your help/guidance/advise - sorry for the long post, but I believe I should provide enough information......
So here goes
So about 3 weeks ago, I thought I should check and clean the PCV on my 1995 RS2, with 211k kms.
Thanx to this here awesome forum, I manged to do everything, including replacing the bleeder valve and clean out the whole system. Surprisingly there was no oil gunked up and was rather easy to clean. I am not very mechanical minded but can follow instructions
, especially if pictures are provided - once again I found everything on this forum and for that a huge THANX.
I must be honest, the removal and cleaning was "easy", and I was concerned about the whole "re-fitting is the opposite of removal". Strangely it was actually easier to re-fit than remove.
Anyway everything done and I go for a short test drive and A Ok. This was 2 Saturdays ago. Drive around on the Saturday and Sunday morning go to a spares shop to get some wiper blades. On my way back, she starts missing. Thinking might be a pipe or some connector that came loose. Check everything once the motor cooled down. Everything looks fine - but she still missing, even at idle.
So I reference this site, and do the "disconnect each injector" while idling and find that number 4 is the problem. So swap out the POS units, and unfortunately the problem is still number 4. Swapping the POS units was a huge PITA - mostly because of the space or should I say lack of......
Swap out the plug and still no joy. Spark looked fine. I don't have a VCDS or other diagnostic equipment at hand. I did try the blink code (yes Dave I gave it a bash, but couldn't get that to work. I will be taking it to shop with full diagnostic equipment on Tuesday evening.
Based on all the info available here, I think it's the coil or injector - but will hopefully know on Tuesday.
In the meantime was wondering what you guys think it could be.
NB - I did most of the work on the car over week-ends and some evenings after work - with mostly basic tools.
Cheers - hopefully it's neither and something smaller or a part that's readily available
