Should my pipes be blocked?
« on: 18 July 2007, 20:40 »
`90 gti 8v

 Just been cleaning my idle valve out to try and find why my tickover dips and rises on idle and noticed that the 3 small pipes (about 8mm)coming from the main unit on the injection unit are blocked off with a few inches of pipe.Is this normal or should they lead somewhere?

yeah some vacuum pipes are blocked off, probably for a different set up. Your idle problem could be the blue temp sender (on top of the coolant pipe) buy VW as the others just don't last  :wink:
