#1: Idle concern 206 gti Author: Jordy6969, Posted: Sun Jan 13, 2013 9:07 am ---- Just purchased a 206 gti 140 bhp V reg and I have a concern regarding the idle.
I was driving in london last night and on standstill the idle sometimes dropped to just below 800rpm, felt like it may cut out, however it didn't.
I don't know if this makes any difference to what it could be... but when I put the A/C on, straight away it went back to normal 900/1000rpm
Any help would be much appreciated
Cheers.

#4: Re: Idle concern 206 gti Author: Jordy6969, Posted: Sun Jan 13, 2013 9:41 am ---- How about cleaning the idle control valve, would that be necessary
#5: Re: Idle concern 206 gti Author: kandlbarrett, Location: SwindonPosted: Sun Jan 13, 2013 10:26 am ---- Idle control valve
Idle stepper motor
Same thing different name.

#8: Re: Idle concern 206 gti Author: Jordy6969, Posted: Mon Jan 14, 2013 5:31 am ---- I don't think the idle is meant to be at just below 800rpm pal, engine struggles to stay on when it happens. However put the A/C on and it's fine again
#9: Re: Idle concern 206 gti Author: Jordy6969, Posted: Mon Jan 14, 2013 5:32 am ---- Cheers Timon will use that one. Pictures always help
#10: Re: Idle concern 206 gti Author: Jordy6969, Posted: Mon Jan 14, 2013 10:33 am ---- Used both the guides, couldn't find the map sensor on my engine however. Will update on results of the new year clean
#11: Re: Idle concern 206 gti Author: kandlbarrett, Location: SwindonPosted: Mon Jan 14, 2013 10:56 am ---- Can't help with picture of your map sensor location as I only have access to 1.4 8V at the moment.
#12: Re: Idle concern 206 gti Author: Jordy6969, Posted: Mon Jan 14, 2013 11:54 am ---- Can you not explain it?
#13: Re: Idle concern 206 gti Author: kandlbarrett, Location: SwindonPosted: Mon Jan 14, 2013 12:16 pm ---- I could if I had a quick look at the car first and I am still at work. It's a long time since I have worked on a 1.6 and the MAP sensor may be in a different place than the 1.4 I will have access to.
Hopefully someone here will explain where the 1.6 MAP sensor is located.
#14: Re: Idle concern 206 gti Author: Jordy6969, Posted: Mon Jan 14, 2013 1:57 pm ---- I haven't got a 1.6, got a gti pal
#15: Re: Idle concern 206 gti Author: kandlbarrett, Location: SwindonPosted: Mon Jan 14, 2013 3:47 pm ---- Sorry, but either way it will be different to a 1.4 8V.
