Ok small update, checked what u said about the DV and i couldnt get it to stay on my lip not sure if i was doing it right thou. However, thanks to my beat mate, hes trading in his gti turbo thats the same engine code as mine soooo currently im sat in his car on the way to trade his gti now we swapped over the dv & maf just so we rule that out now sat in his car it is doing what mine was doing with the shakky idling so when i go bk for my car later fingers crossed :-)
