Jebb, it does, I tried it out last night and it felt like the response were quicker and bit faster

Sounds very much like the secondary air pump which needs taking off and replace the rivets with nuts and bolts. There's a diagram in the net some where I think it was on a golf forum. I did it and it sorted the problem out as the pump was sucking in to much air causing my car to run lumpy when cold.

The engine seems to run okay now when it is cold after the cleaning :)

But another question: Coilovers.....I am new in that division and been looking around.

Why have so many coilever on other cars then Skoda three "rows", to of them to lock and 1 to adjust.

But on skoda coilvers are there just one.....explain if you know what I am talking about.

Most use a grub screw on the front. The rears I have no idea lol

Sent from my Galaxy S2 not a Crapple!

I had a simular problem. Turned out to be the breather pipes under the inlet manifold
