   Okay I have a big if a issue for you all hoping for some opinions my firmed Murray- has a vtr with a gti engine earlier today we went to get in the car and start it the car was struggling to start and it was juddering. Eventually we got it back to his barn and had a look over it, it seem that the fuel line under the rear seats is kinked we done a temp job and it worked. Went for a short drive to see it the engine would die again half an hour later tried to start it and it done the same it seems that the water is dissapearing. There no unusual smoke coming from the exhaust or milky oil. Cleaned the spark plugs and worked for around an hour the way it would until it cut out again. Any opinions?

   my 1.4 was like this except it was smoking like a cunt when revved up, all it turned out to be was a clogged fuel filter, noticed this since it started first time going down a bumpy hill, try changing the filter to see if it will fix it.. if it dont then i have no clue

   It's recently been serviced that's why I'm so lost with it.. New fuel filter, spark plugs, oil although the spark plugs did get coated in black &£@" rather fast
