Almost stalling on idle
Saint Steve:
Just for the record, mine was missfiring on throttle back aswell.
Did you listen for any hissing sound after you shut the engine off under the airbox?.
That'll be were the crankcase pressure will be blowing into the cabin.

Not getting any hissing on shutoff, but have noticed the DV to be noisier than usual as well as the exhaust note.
Engine management light came on tonight.. Should I be worried?
I have to take the wife to work tomorrow, no other option...
However my bsh pcv revamp and stage 2+ catchxan kit is at the postoffice and I'll get it fitted tomorrow..
All going to plan and she should be back to normal before lunchtime... :happy2:
Otherwise it's something else :scared:
I expect the engine management light won't just go out on resolution of the problem and will stay on until reset using vcds??
Saint Steve:
^^ you may find it will go out, but the fault code will stay logged untill its cleared by vcds :happy2:.
Is the car remapped? and have you ever removed it to check its condition.
They are a known weak point (DV's) on mapped std GTi's and should be upgraded to a later version of valve. Later ones were more durable.
If thats failed, then you would of noticed poor boost.
Fingers crossed this works :happy2:
Keep us informed :smiley:

Well the catch can kit arrived; collected it yesterday morning at 0700 ready to get it installed..
However I was raging to find that there are parts missing and it's about as much use as
a chocolate fireguard right now...
The 3 x screws that hold the inlet Manila isolation cap are missing..
I also discovered that the instructions are useless and that that the fitting is not meant for a UK car..
So not very pleased right now...
Saint Steve:
Just put the oem Pcv in fella. Forget the catch can personally
