Just curious but iv noticed that when i drive up to a junction or traffic lights etc and come to a stop my revs seem to fluctuate for a second or to and then settle bk to around 8-900rpm, im assuming it has something to do with the maf< maybe not tho, any1 shed any light, thanks in advance

Id say if you have a 1.8t possible throttle body clean.
Take the intercooler pipe off and undo 4 alan key bolts, unclip any sensors or cable (AGU). Give the throttle body a good clean using carb cleaner this may sort the little fluctuations out.

thanks for the quick reply m8, been thinking that as well and seen the guide on here, may give it a bash today

I had this problem a few weeks back. Cleaned the TB and everything was back to normal. Car ran so much smoother after it too. It's worth a try anyway.

dont you have to reset the throttle body after as i have heard rummers once they been cleaned and re fitted they rev high till you reset them useing a vag com

im sure this doesnt apply to my AGU engine as it has a throttle cable

Hold throttle wide open/ engine off and intercooler pipe off and get a cloth with carb cleaner on it and get cleaning .No need to remove it. :wink: My hand fits inside that hole. :evil: I just did mine again ,runs sweat.

ended up taking the TB off for all it was and gave it a good scrub , its shiny now
:), seems to idle a lot better although slightly higher RPM, its just over 1000 but is no longer spiking like it used to, will the revs flatten bk down to around 900 (which im sure is an average idle, correct me if im wrong ) or is this normal.
