throttle cable is not sticking,when the engine is reving high the throttle is closed and cable is slack,im thinking it might need an isv,all the ones on ebay dont fit mine :sad:

I would also get it attached to vag-com and see if any codes come up.... remember read the codes,erase, run for a few days and read again.. several people on here have this installed on a lap top and may beable to help or buy a cable from ebay and download the software

ive bought a cable and cd so we will see what it says when it gets here from hong kong,a new isv non vw is £180,a guy at the renault garage thinks it sounds like throttle body issue.the revs are all over the place when the butterfly valve is closed.so there must be the wrong information going to the ecu which effects the revs.

ISV should buzz yeah. have a check of the switch that the throttle cable stops on, spray some WD40 in there and snap the throttle shut a few times on it to make sure it's not sticking open. If it doesn't close the ISV won't monitor air on idle
