Lol,  my 16v was running beautifully until I decided to give the ISV a bit of a spring cleaning.  Took it off, cleaned it out (wasn't bad at all actually), put it back on and now my car will not idle when cold! 
Hi
Do you have the tiny idle adjuster screw on the throttle ?

Yeah, the little one on the airbox side of the throttle bodies?  Is that the one referred to as "the brass air bleed screw" in this guide here...http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=22031.0 ?

I think that it is next on my hit list.  Will I have to readjust the CO2 screw too once I clean the idle adjuster screw, or will it still be fine as is?

Cheers for the advice.
Robert

Hi
No, leave the CO2 screw as it is.
Also make  a rough note of how far in the idle adjuster screw is before you remove it.
