I have a 1997 mark three golf, had nothing but problems with it,: ( but the main one is whenever it drives in the wet, the engine will stop, mainley after going through a puddle, it is a auto but it feels like when you stall a geared car, any ideas?

By the way, I live in the UK so avoiding the puddles is not an option !!!!!!!!!!!

sounds like the insulation is breaking down whenever it gets water around it. I would invest in a new set of HT leads and remove the distributor cap when they are being fitted to make sure everything is clean and no apparent cracks. Check the carbon pick up in the cap is OK. Replace cap fit new leads (5) and give them a good spray with a water repellent aerosol.

The easiest way to learn golf like a pro is by following "The Simple Golf Swing" program. It's primarily a 31 page eBook that teaches golfers how to make solid contact with the ball, how to avoid hitting fat, how to avoid slicing, how get more power, accuracy, and consistency in your swing. Consistency being the number 1 golf skill.
You not only get the eBook though, you also receive a ton of extra material including video, lessons on putting, driving, chipping, sand play etc. Here is their official site: http://www.golfswingguru.net

basically the height of mark three golf is too low so there are chances of water logging in your cars engine and second get a car base sheet installed in your car for avoiding it to happen again

Something in the ignition system becomes wet. Pep Boy's type stores sell a weather proofing spray that you can apply.

Same thing happened to me w/ my last car........they thought it was my distributer cap as well so they replaced that and all of the plugs and i still had the same problem......finally they realized that the wire harness was getting wet so they rewired that and the problem went away

try a new disributor cap its cheap and should be very easy to fit.make sure when you take the ht leads of they go on the same way as you took them of the old one as this is the way your car fires up
