i hate the wifes golf gti

i replaced all 3 pipes,ive gone round all air pipes theres no leaks.if you engine brake it will idle at 1100rpm,when reved it sits at 1500rpm,when i stall the car just enough it will drop to1100rpm.the throttle snaps shut right up to the stop on body,i can rev it by hand,and have checked that,im at a loss,the haynes manual say things like cam belt not tensioned right.

Can't imagine it would be a timing issue  or anything related to that. Vag Com is your best bet. Sounds like a cream crackered valve in the ISV. Apart from through inlet manifold gaskets there's no other way in for unmetered air now you've checked everything else

[gareth25]

theres no noise at all coming from the isv,if its supposed to buzz,it does not,i have posted on parts needed for one,so will have to see what happens there if not £180 it is then .would vag-com show up a fault with the isv

[Pete Taylor]

If it was a wiring fault to it then yes, worth checking first..

[gareth25]

ok, i finaly got round to sorting out my vagcom and it tells me there are no faults with the car,so the question is if the isv is not working would this have shown up a fault,any body got a isv they want to sell (abf engine)

Before you spend that £180...when you cleaned your throttle body, how did you clean it, did you remove it..? may need resetting, to do this open the bonnet, put the key in the ignition and turn it until all the lights come on but don't start the car and also leave the driverside door open aswell, leave for about 3 mins (5 just to be sure) and if the throttle body is outta sink it will reajust its self.

Don't know if this works on valvers as i never had to do this on mine but it woks on vr's so worth a try and it don't cost nowt...let us know what happens.

took the battery off for 1 hour then had the ignition on for 15 mins.no change to the revs problem.i pulled the pipe off the airbox from the isv and its stucking very loudly,when you squeeze the pipe the revs do drop,there is no buzzing from isv with the ignition on.bloody thing :angry:why are isv;s for 8v and vr6 20quid and 16v 180quid

well its been over a year since ive been on here the wife has a new car and ive got the golf the tickover was still all over the place but as she didnot care nor did i but as im now driving it,it has to be sorted.and it is .i took it to vw in swindon they said isv.it was not cheap but they said if it did not work they would take it off and there would be no charge .its now running sweet as
