The clicking is carbon canister and its meant to click,

Ive done a K03s swap in the past and agree. Its not nice.

Yeah, I get inconsistent idle every now and then. Occasionally it will almost stall, then kick the revs up again. I've never gotten to the bottom of it!
I thought Volkswagens were supposed to be reliable?

you need the throttle body realigning. It will do it for a bit after that until it decides on the right idle
