idle-ing issues, Here Goes again;

[Christo77]

Certainly is..but that means it's a 2.0.. not a 1.8 !
A bit confusing to begin with..

[casey-carl]

I have found a hole in the hose at the bottom of the air box driver side the one that looks like it goes to the bottom og the TB at the back....

And the timing belt looks new. Maybe not set correct.  . What do u think..

[Christo77]

Yes any pipework whether it's air intake/hose/breather or vacuum lines need to be in good order, you could tape up the hole temporarily to see if it makes any difference but replace it soon as you can.
As for the static timing marks i'm not sure if it's different form the AGG engine as per mine..someone will advise on your 2E engine i'm sure..

dude if you put your foot on the accelerator peddle and hold it down so it hits 2000rpms,then does it start dropping,so when you take your foot off the peddle it stools???
mine did this and ive just got a 2nd hand idle control valve for 16 quid and its sorted!!!!!!
if it is the same prob then try and find someone on here whos breaking an early gti 8v as the laters ones are different
