Golf3 Jerking by Fuhrerjee: 11:10pm On Nov 28, 2016
[Good day house!
My Golf3 is stalling(jerking) in motion and idle. I have changed fuel pump 3 times, I have changed caburator, brainbox, coil, plug wire, plugs, fuel filter, used injector cleaner but the problem still persist.
I scanned it and the guy asked me to clean the cam shaft sensor, I did but it didn't work. I later changed the ignition but the problem is still there.
The car is auto transmission and its 1998 model of Golf3(according to my custom paper).
Anyone with useful idea should please help me out.

@Spinna, I have actually used two mechanics. If there is a more reliable one you know that specialized on Volkswagen, kindly help. I stay at Ogba in Lagos.

Check the air flow meter, my elder brother golf had that problem. He suffered before they now discover it was the air flow meter.
Re: Golf3 Jerking by Fuhrerjee: 7:27pm On Dec 01, 2016
OK. I shall do all the things suggested one after the other by weekend and get back to this house. I sincerely appreciate everyone that showed concern.

@gly2ken, please kindly help me with your elder brother's number. I told my mechanic to check Airflow meter, he said Golf 3 doesn't have airflow meter. I asked another mechanic, he said the same thing. I am thinking of talking with your bro for direction. My number is 08036270421

Get a good auto electrician to trace all the ground points in the vehicle, disconnect, clean them thoroughly and re-connect.

Thanks all for your suggestions. I took the car to Itire two weeks ago and contacted one electrician to work on it. After examining so many components in the car, he told me to change the carburetor and fuel pump (don't forget I have change fuel pump three times before and carburetor once). I changed them and since then the stalling stopped.

The only thing I'm experiencing is that if I slow down while driving, the car will cut off; and if I restart, it picks immediately. This happens like once a day or once in two days. I think the problem is 90% solved.

Remember my English before? U "thought" you had changed the carburettor & pump based on ur former mechanic's info. Now you have actually changed it, Naija mechs can lie eh?
