1995/6 Golf Gti 111,000 miles
Keeps threatening to cut out at the start of every journey.
Rather than letting it run for a few minutes before setting off, is there any way to make the Golf more reliable ?

Can anyone help?

Is it the 2.0 8V 115bhp? If so it could be simply the ignition leads breaking down. Start the engine from cold when dark and look for blue flashes.

Problems that have stopped my mk3 GTI AGG 140,000 miles are as follows:- Leaking plug leads. Cracked ignition coil, leaking in damp/wet weather. Cracked ignition switch. Failure of the engine speed impulse sensor, due to total failure of it's wire insulation at the sensor end, it crumbled off in my hands, leaving 3 bare copper wires. Relay No. 30 can suffer from dry joints on it's internal printed circuit.
If I was in your shoes, I would first check your coil on a damp dark night and then the engine speed sensor wiring insulation.
Best of luck, and when you find the cause please let us know what it was.
