It's a smallish thread with an 8mm lock nut on the throttle housing which is usually painted/sealed yellow at the factory ( unless someone has adjusted it and painted it another colour )

Sound like your referring to the Bronze idle screw which goes in at an angle of about 90 degrees at the back of the throttle body with a 7mm hex head on it .
Did you swap it with the 2.2 one ( which I believe has a slotted end to it ( for a screwdriver ) if so that maybe your problem as it may not go far enough in to slow the idle down enough  :undecided:

Could do if it fits  :undecided: also ,make sure you haven't got any air leaks . With it running ( obviously ) spray some WD 40 or Duck oil around the gasket and see if it makes any difference to the idle speed :undecided:

Having swatted up on this sort of thing reading golf+ :huh:

According to them, when putting a throttle body on your engine, you have to choose one carefully, becuase if you put on that is of an engine that is fair bigger than your own, you can cause it to idle irratically......just a thought......

Or you could alsways "modify" the idle screw so that you can screw it on further :wink:

just one more thing, what are the two little pipes coming off the back of the t-body near the idel screw? my 1.8 one only has one which fits to a small rubber pipe, my 2.2 one has two, i have put the rubber pipe on the one which is in the same place as the 1.8 but ther other one has nothing going to it? would this affect how the car runs???

Try blocking it and see what happens. It's probably a breather but it could be letting in air which is causing your idel to up.
