Rain or Snow my car won't GO!
OK , here is my problem…
I own a 1997 VW Golf Jazz, that for some reason doesn’t like rain or snow!
Every time it snows or rains I cannot get on the highway with it. After a few minutes on the highway (faster speeds) it starts running on 3 cylinders… or at least that’s what it feels like. I’ve taken it to a garage, but they couldn’t find any problem. I have changed the spark plug wires, spark plugs, coil, air filter but nothing seems to work!!!
At normal city speeds 0-55 or so it runs great even in the rain or snow…
No rain or snow, no problem… I can even go on the highway and floor it!
I should also mention that I have changed my coil twice in 2 years because they just went bad and got to the point where the car would just stop and would not start.
I love this car, but it has given me a few headaches, very few I should say although it has always had an idling problem where once in awhile when I stop at a light or stop sign it will die out but it starts right away. I can deal with that for now, but the water and snow problem I need to fix!
What do you pros think? I need your help on this one!!
Regards,
Peter
