Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

                I agree. This should be the first thing to look at Some of the 8v leads have poor connections at the plug end (whilst the spark may jump it, it still isn't clean). Sometimes you can get a clean fire just by having someone press down on the lead connections.

                  Also if the cap is black with carbon inside the spark will be jumping all over the place. give it a good clean too. Like Valver says spark maybe there but not healthy, check with a spark tester if you are unsure super cheap does one for about a tenner.

                            Have one, and can drop in sometime over the weekend if you want. You should be able to get them in a fair way doing them up by hand, then finish off with the star socket.
