Checked the plugs for damage and cleaned (looked really good actually) however, 1 and 4 were wet. All HT's seems to be arcing away strongly to the metal shrouds on all cylinders. Tried unplugging cylinder 1, this made no difference to the running, 2 and 3 caused the engine to stall, 4 also made no difference. Checked the Dizy and all HT connections etc, Nothing obviously loose etc. The old fuel was the colour of Whiskey so it wasn't good. Instead of persisting I decided that the fuel was most probably past it, so I got hold of a new fuel filter, drained the tank and filled up with fresh fuel. This was fitted this weekend, unfortunately when I came to start it it was running really bad. As the battery was knackered I ordered a new one that week (reasonable quality VARTA). The Saturday before last I decided to get it back on the road so jump started it and it started first time and settled down to tick over nicely for 20 mins or so until I turned it off. I started it every 6 months or so and ran it for a while with no problems. with 35,000 miles on the clock (sorry kind of a cut down Polo really) It was a great runner until it was parked up at the side of the house 2 years and 8 months ago. I have a 98' SEAT Arosa 1.0 with engine code AER.
