205 GTI Running isses specialists in Kent?
Discussion
Hi all,
Decided to take the plunge and buy my childhood classic a 205 1.9 GTi had a blast driving it home however it has not been relegated to the garage as it wont idle or run for more than 5 seconds.
Done the the following:
Checked for spark-all fine
Undone fuel rail and confirmed pump was working
Squirted brake cleaner into the intake and it runs!
so looked at the follwing:
Replaced air mass meeter
checked for air leaks usual places etc
played with idle screw
No joy
I am really struggling to find a specialist in the Dartford Kent area has anyone got any ideas?
On another note as useful as 205gtidrivers forum is why cant I join? Seems bloody rediculous.....

Just had a look on the forum and it says new user registrations were enabled on 8th November, so you should be able to register. As far as I'm aware (from when I joined years ago) it's just a case of following the validation process before you can post openly on the forum.
