Hi all I’m new on her as I’ve just bought as MK4 SE all blue with the EFI engine. It hasn’t been ran for about 2 years & not been on the road in 10!

ive fitted a new fuel pump as the old one had seized. New battery I have good spark & engine turns over well. It coughs as if it wants to start & sometimes runs on I think 1 cylinder.

any ideas?

Hi Chris. When you say it turns over well does it sound like there is compression on all cylinders? If not the hydraulic followers could have become depressed over a period of time not being run.

If that sounds ok then you are looking at fuel pressure I would think. Should be 3 bar if you can get you hands on a gauge? Filter blocked maybe?

Cheers
