    Is it throwing any codes pertaining to, for example , the EGR valve (P0401)?

    Failing that, horse in the Dipetane and say three decades of the rosary.

    There's a good chance a VW 1.4 of that vintage is utterly utterly fudged.

    Ladyinthedark - What are the emissions readings? I have money on astonishing HC readings at the very least - these engines can burn a lot of oil.
