Wont idle

there isn't one really, the only thing i can suggest is you swap the ecu temp sender with a new one from VW

if i ran my car on the fault code reader would it pick this up i have it booked in next week ?

[rubjonny]

it should do, ideally you want the codes cleared then run the car to see what new ones pop up.

16v ecu sensor isnt blue, I think its white?  Sat on the right side of the block IIRC.  Shouldnt cost alot from VW
