AGU hunting
« on: 11 January 2010, 20:29 »
probably supposed to be in the garage section this but,
recently my agu has started to hunt at idle when coming to settle from different revs ect.. it will idle smoothly if let to find idle but will hunt for a brief moment. also went to start it today at took about 3 attempts. it really didnt want to catch, it would fire but the revs would just drop then stall.. i really hope this isnt an expensive fix as im completely bladdered until pay day.. :sad:
havent had it on vag-com yet as i cant find the charger for my laptop :angry:
any ideas? cheers, jamie.

Have alook in the servicing and info section at the throttle body clean this may help.

Consider this an official bollocking then :grin: Look after your car! Oil every 8k miles at the very least - 5k miles would be better.

Just looked at your sig, is the piper cross filter an oil one? If so these can gunk things up a bit, def do a throttle body clean.

20 quid for oil and filter or 600 quid for a top end rebuild and oil pump replacement when it picks up sludge from the sump.. your choice :tongue:

Be cheeky and ask for trade discount - i used to do that even before i was in the trade and it worked more often than not!
