RE: Runs rough after rainstorms...

It could be water in the distributor system, or water making your drive belt
slip maybe, I've heard of both being problems in the A2 engines. You'd
probably have better luck on an A2 list, though... maybe search the
water-cooled vw newsgroups via google? I think it's
news://rec.autos.makers.vw.watercooled or something like that.

Good luck, Adam!

Subject: Runs rough after rainstorms...


My 1990 Jetta 8v has started to run very rough for the first dozen or so
kilometers after it has rained.  Have to really feel things out when
pulling away at a light or it will stall. If I put the hammer down in
any gear, it really bogs down and takes a long long time to get up to
speed.  I assume water is getting in somewhere, but not sure what to
check out.

Most times my car is under cover so it doesn't matter too much, but if
its an easy fix I'd like to take care of it.

Thanks,

Adam.
