Mk2 Golf Gtd
Hi all,
just joined this club, it looks awesome ! I wonder if anyone help,my mk2 Gtd is not starting as it should. Sometimes it starts alright but most of the time it will not start, it sounds like it`s back firing and there is a hissing noise from the engine bay. I`ve just noticed that the wire to the switch on the oil filter housing had broken and was not connected. My battery is on charge so could not try to see if that made any difference. But it`s only a fine wire, could that be the problem?
Apologise if I`ve posted this in the wrong section, couldn`t find the mk2 Golf area.

Thanks :)
