Re: [Mk2] [NA] 98 Beams starting problems.

could be the ecu temp sender is giving iffy readings ie thinking the engine is always cold .maybe leaving the car in the cold start part of the map which when hot will flood it
if it is iffy then fuel consumption will suffer aswell
just an idea :D

Re: Differences in doors ?

the only main difference was from rev2 onwards the doors got side impact protection beams in them .
the side strips and top edge trims were different also
dont forget that glass colour will be different if uk or import or rev4 onwards
