#42: Re: Erattic idle 2001 GTi - Now with video Author: leigh_boy, Location: EastbournePosted: Wed Feb 09, 2011 9:24 am ---- its injection so ye
the idle control valve will be part of the choke system, the rest is all ecu and injectors
#43: Re: Erattic idle 2001 GTi - Now with video Author: CD-B3, Location: Salisbury / New ForestPosted: Wed Feb 09, 2011 9:25 am ---- Yeah they do Kersh, the first min or so they idle 200RPM higher.
#44: Re: Erattic idle 2001 GTi - Now with video Author: leigh_boy, Location: EastbournePosted: Wed Feb 09, 2011 9:28 am ---- a test u can try is remove the idle controll valve, and leave cove the hole with your finger and sii if yu can get it to idle, or disconnec tthe idle control valve
#45: Re: Erattic idle 2001 GTi - Now with video Author: Edward, Location: In the garagePosted: Wed Feb 09, 2011 4:33 pm ---- Just unplug the idle control valve! Have you tested the fuel pressure?
Oily inlets are normal because the engine vents into the inlet. No point in cleaning it as it will just oil up again.
