    Default Vs help

    Hi guys im new here.
    I have a vs wagon on gas. It is running shocking on petrol and perfectly fine on gas. when it idles on petrol it sounds like it has a lumpy cam in it.
    Here is a video of the car. would be great if you could help or tell me how to fix.


    Cheers

    My first though is one or more dirty injectors as you say it runs OK on gas (rules out ignition) - put a can or two of injector cleaner thru the tank and see if that improves things. It's not blowing black smoke so it's not running rich.
    And welcome to the forum.

    A dud valve will be felt on gas as well - as it runs OK on gas the valves must be OK. May also pay to replace the fuel filter as a long shot...probably due anyway!

    That sounds so very wrong, giving it runs on gas fine i would say check out the fuel system. As said injectors would be high on the list.
