Volkswagon "STARTING PROBLEM" by xiphoide

The car acts as if it has a dead battery and does the click click click, but it starts after several attempts. It is not the alternator or battery had those checked. I have taken it to the VW dealership and they found nothing wrong and had no suggestions, but of coarse it did not act up for them. There is no pattern for hot vs cold weather, morning vs. night, consecutive days vs. time of day. Nothing, it is just weird. I need help to see if anyone else with a VW has experienced an issue like this. Anything will help. Thank you for you time.

Volkswagen GTI major problems, PLEASE HELP ME!!!!! by hewins

My 85 VW GTI is sputtering and sputtering. It starts and runs fine till it gets warmed up.
 
If I shut her off then start her up again she will run like crap till I get through the gears and she blows black smoke like there is no tomorrow. Also does it if I mat her to full throttle.
 
I have changed plugs, wires, cap, button, distributor, air filter, fuel filter, and had it put back in time, also had the plunger on the cis system adjusted.
 
I've gone thought 3 sets of plugs in the last week cause they keep getting carbon build up on them.

Time to put her out to pasture...
Sounds like she had a good run, almost 25 years.
