Idle Co was about 2.2% and the hydrocarbns about 100 or somethin like that? I thought it was slightly rich, but the guy said dont adjust it, its just right. This was, however, on a day when it was running very very nicely!

Hey dude, I broke mine on a Scirroco I had a couple of years ago. The only replacements I could find were annodized metal ones on ebay. The dealers had no idea wtf I was on about  :grin: They are somtimes known as 'swirl pots' if this helps with searching  :smiley:
