Hi All,
New to the forum and have to say that all responses are very good but as yet I haven't come across a forum portraying the same probs as my VeeDub.
I have a '97 mk3 golf 1.6 CL (carb model) and it hates the wet....the engine turns over when turning the ignition, all lights on dash appear/disappear as they should - she just won't spark. When the weather is kind (!) she's starts off the button all the time.
I've replaced the rotor, dizzy cap and HT leads and of course plugs which has helped with the performance somewhat cos the other leads were "arcking" out. I've reconditioned the starter motor too just to be on the safe side, bendix gears etc are all working fine and there is good current/voltage.
As today is persisting down she's won't start and its doing my proverbial pip in - any help/ideas greatly appreciated
Peace
