Hi guys and girls!
Im running a '99 1.4 with 160k miles on it, it runs and drives as sweet as a nut, except it overfuels beyond belief! All the obvious things have been checked, air filter is clear, dizzy and rotor arm are clean and not worn, leads are good and spark plugs are new. Exhaust has no leaks either.
Ive run it through VCDS lite and all it showed was a lambda probe fault. The probe has been changed and the code cleared, yet i am still getting heavy carbon fouling on the plugs and even a soot mark on the floor when its throttled up hard.
So im thinking the only other option seems to be knackered injectors? Does anybody else have any other ideas or possible causes? Also has anybody else had to do this, if so do you have any helpful tips?
Ive got a feeling i may be in a minority!
Thanks in advance.
