2000 Volkswagen Beetle GLS 1.8L Excessive Emissions, Poor Idle Quality
Posted to European Driveability on 12/12/2005 7 Replies

This car will start fine cold but when left to idle cold it will start to load up, and eventually foul the spark plugs to the point it quits running. It will restart but run poor until the plugs are cleaned. Originally it wouldn't restart and I pulled the plug...
