Please go easy on me with this and forgive any inaccurate terminology as I am simply repeating what I have been told..
My 2.0FI has had a problem of starting up ok, idling, but then cutting out when any gas was applied. We've now had the fuel tank out and cleaned, which I'm very pleased about as it was full of rust, but the problem persisted. Then my mechanic friend who's been helping me out, but who has no specific VW experience, found something: if you pull up on the airflow meter the engine cuts out. He says he thinks there may be an air/vacuum leak, and wants to know if there should be a seal between the inlet manifold and the throttle body?
I hope some of the above makes some kind of sense.
If not, are there any checks we can carry out to search for a leak in the system?
Thanks a bunch
