#1: GTi 180 problems Author: Big_Rich180, Posted: Tue Jan 25, 2011 6:52 am ---- Hey guys,
I set of to work this morning and everything was fine until i tried to set of from a juntion, at this point the ABS fault warning came on then a few seconds later it said it had a fault with the cat then the engine light came on and every other light on the dash.....then a few seconds later the engine sounded like a 1 cylinder broke old lawnmower it also had hardly any power, so i got it to work only using 1st gear parked it up left it for 5 mins, came back out and looked under the bonnet, everything seemed fine so i started it and it was all ok
Any ideas on what could have happened?
Sorry for the essay

The only fault which has stayed with the car now is an anti pollution fault, when i had this last time it was the wiring to the vvt solenoid, so i will also check that again.
