Just bought another MK2 to work on. However, the guy said that the RAC guy who recovered the vehicle from breakdown said the head gasket had gone. However, when you start the car, it really struggles. ones its going, the engine revs up to like 5000rpm as stays around that level (fluctuates a lot tho, but stays in the top end of the revs.) This it without touching the pedal. It doesn't lack power either - after towing the car home, i had to drive it up the driveway, and when i slowy released the clutch, it shot up the hill, so definatly no power problem.
It was pitch black when i got the car home, so i haven't had a real look, but surely it cant be the HG? With a blown HG it would struggle to run at all, never mind get to 5000rpm. So im thinking ICV? or could the TPS cause it? any other things that could cause it? Would i be better just replacing the entire throttle body?
Cheers
