Title: Idling issue
Post by: Archieback on 08 March 2016, 21:15

Hi. My 1.8 T doesn't idle, it just drops down to 500 rpm when i think the anti stall kicks in and flicks the revs up, for them to drop off again. Only had the car a few days and only done one trip of 60 miles. Any ideas? Thanks

probably best getting it scanned to see what comes up  :smiley:

Check the MAF sensor on the car. Disconnect it and see how it idles. Otherwise run a diagnostic on to get the fault codes

Have had your dodgey scanned or VAGGED I like to say :laugh: :laugh:.  Mine sits a bit high on cold start for few seconds then it drops to normal. I thought of couple things like mapped ecu reading the command from mapp etc or secondary air pump has given up / coz there dead reliable on 1,8T  :whistle:/

As stated in the thread vag com is best option

sounds like an air leak. Check all of the breather hoses over including the ones under the inlet manifold
