Tin top advice needed
A mate of mine has a Mk3 Golf 1.6 1996, it broke down on him and we worked out it was dodgy fuel (tank full) having drained the tank and added new
fuel (25litres) the car now starts again and runs but is very lumpy on tickover and misses quite badly on acceleration as well as being underpowered.
the initial fuel was thought to be contaminated with water after some investigations. Any ideas what the problem could be we've cleaned out the
single point injection unit but the problem doesn't seem to be getting any better. Could it have caused a more serious problem. Any ideas
welcome

As above, change the fuel filter, and if you can disconnect fuel lines and blow them out with an airline, there maybe a blockage in them, after this a
drop of injector cleaner in the fuel system.

UNDERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the front of the car.
OVERSTEER is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car.
HORSEPOWER is how fast you hit the wall.
TORQUE is how far you take the wall with you.

Ditto filter. Beyond that is there any come-back e.g. the Tesco dodgy fuel incident in Kent recently
