Question
Hi,I have a VW vento(petrol monotronic carburettor) 1.8 GLX 1996. the problem is : the engine have oscillation in minimo. some time ,when I'm driving the engine stop running for a few seconds and after running again. could be the carburettor's problem?

Answer
Redi,
I am sorry but I am unfamiliar with your vehicle. However you might check to see if your muffler or catyletic (sp) converter is partially plugged. I have seen several instances where this has occurred and the symptoms are similar. Hope this helps. Jerry
