Car Forum / Volkswagen / Water Cooled Volkswagen Cars / February 2009Flooded engine
MK4 golf 1.6 16v 01 Hypotheitcal question, if you flooded this vehicle would the WOT (wide open throttle) method clear the fuel in the engine allowing it to start and run properly. Or after doing that would you need to change the plug from having be damp ? Thanks > Hypotheitcal question, if you flooded this vehicle would the WOT (wide > open throttle) method clear the fuel in the engine allowing it to start > and run properly. Or after doing that would you need to change the plug > from having be damp ? Not the same car but we used to have a Lupo 1.0. We had to move it a short distance once when it was stone cold. When I got into it the next time I had to crank it WOT a couple of times before it started. It had no ill effects after that and passed all its MOTs with no issues so no apparent damage to the cat. After that I always drove up to full temp (2-3 miles) even if I was just moving it out of our driveway.
