Hi
Just driving my 2002 Gsi home tonight and the engine management light came on and now the car is shuddering
Didn't hear any noise and no smoke coming from exhaust its just shuddering through gears and at idle, just sounds really rough, its only done 54000 miles and serviced regulary
ANY CLUES THANKS!

Yeah did that two codes
0300 and 0302
2nd cylinder and random misfiring i think
Could this of happened because i got a little water over summat that i shouldn't, i was cleaning engine bay thought i covered everything but may have missed summat
Thanks

is it still in limp mode? if it is it might be worth disconnecting the battery for 30 mins and resetting the codes and go from there

do as above mate, leave the battery diconnected for 30 mins and see what happens. when i first bought mine it was going into limp mode after 60-70 miles then if i disconnected the battery it would be fine for another 60-70 miles eventually found out it was the idle valve fault so a new complete throttle body needed

Cheers yeah i'll only get genuine parts, have to order from Ukk to be sent here ( Ireland ) coz they haven't a clue the Opel garage here didn't even know of the GSI!!!!!?
So i'll source parts and take them to a garage to be fitted, be Wed or Thursday before its done now THOUGH!
