#1: GTI 180 hunting and vibrating Author: Lewis, Location: Isle Of WightPosted: Mon Jul 30, 2012 2:42 pm ---- Hi guys, just recently having a problem with the engine of my 180 hunting and the revs dropping in the first 10 seconds of start up. The car is vibrating quite badly at points within this first 10 seconds also. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

#10: Re: GTI 180 hunting and vibrating Author: Lewis, Location: Isle Of WightPosted: Fri Aug 03, 2012 11:25 am ---- Will do, I've had a clean of spark plugs which were very black :/ only 8 months old. Cleaned the VVT sensor, and cleaned the inlet pipe around the butterfly! Can't give you reliable results until tomorrow morning though that's when the answers will be really apparent when it's at it's coldest. The MAF sensor is next on my list but I couldn't work out which one it was, is it the yellow clip on the intake?
#11: Re: GTI 180 hunting and vibrating Author: uttz, Location: Trinidad and TobagoPosted: Sat Aug 04, 2012 6:51 am ---- checked out my pug expert friend person... said to do an intialization or whatever you call it...essentially resetting the ecu... wasnt able to do it yesterday cuz he was way to busy.. will let you know how it goes
reason he said so was that a guy with a 2.0 307 was having the same issue and ttried it and it worked..
