Hello all!

Can anyone shed some light on 2 concerns I have with my 205 Gti 1.9?

No 1 Water is getting in and accumulating in the footwell behind the passenger seat from no obvious route

No 2 Starting to be tempermental when it comes to starting turning over fine but just not going,but other times it starts first time,has recently had new battery,new plugs/leads and starter motor.Any ideas?

Happy new year to you all and I look forward to speaking on pistonheads throughout 2007,any advice/guidance will be very appreciated.

Regards Rob

Cheers Guys

The water ingress is weird because it still seems to happen when it hasn't rained!

Hi all

Would seem that a dodgy fuel pump could be the problem , something I had not considered untill someone pointed it out then after listening out for it well it was making no noise but can be coerced into life with a little tap.

Cheers for all advice
Regards Rob
