I think my engines had it, its leaking oil and fuel when on, it suddenly loses power but the revs stay the same and if u let go of the accellerator the engine dies, and then it wont start for about 30 seconds
can anyone tell me what they think this could be and is its an easy fix

thanks

well where is it leaking fuel from? Maybe replace the fuel line that's leaking.

Where's the oil leaking from? Rocker cover? Headgasket?

I would look to sort these first.

its hard to tell beacuse its raining but it looks like they are both coming from the front drivers side arch - just infront of the door, i can just see a puddle of oil and fuel there

If the engine dies after 30 seconds it could be the fuel filter blocked and maybe causin it to leak. They only cost a fiver at halfords

if its missfiring like you described to me then i think there is something deeper to blame dude

are you the owner of the stripped out black 106 green gti wheels ?
if so this is the prefect reason to drop a valver in there
