poor, poor scirocco



possibly rings going (losing compression when it gets warm to the point that it dies). you can tell
even further if flooring it seems to do nothing at idle (when its hot).

> I have a 1981 scirrocco which is currently ill.  In the morning the car will start no problems,
after it heats up (usually after 5 or 6 miles) it will die at slower speeds or waiting at stop
lights.  If I let it sit there for ten minutes or so it will start again.  Any help will be
appreciated.
