Hi guys I have a 2001 1.6 golf 4 comfortline, I have a few problems with it.

1. The car tends to switch of when Idling and only starts after a few good swings.

2. while normal driving the rev counter rev's up to 4000 revs where it stays till I pull over and restart the engine. but if I carry on driving it develops a miss fire.

Please help.

mail me if possible [email protected]

Oh and I fitted a branch and freeflow as well.

What's a 'branch'?

I'd guess it's a 4 branch manifold (with a freeflow exhaust). They look like a bunch of bananas and, with high horsepower engines make a difference to getting the gases out quicker and providing equal back-pressure to all cylinders - check the exhuast on an F1 car to see what I mean +++

Absolutely nothing, but I wasn't going to say that. In all honesty, if you've got a 1.6 Golf, which is one of the least tuneable engines from VW, you'd be better off buying another car if you want more performance, but that's not always an option for anyone.

You don't have to have a high revving engine to get an advantage from a multi-branch manifold, it's more to do with power than revs. Well tuned V8s definitely benefit from them as much as 1.8 turbos etc.
