#1: GTI 180 still lumpy Idle Author: 19Connor92, Location: Southend-On-seaPosted: Sat May 04, 2013 11:45 am ---- Changed the spark plugs, Panel Air filter and cleaned the following:
Still really bad idle, whole car judders and shakes. The car seems to be losing power, accelerator does not seem that responsive.
Thinking it might be an injector not spraying properly? any one had this on there GTI 180

But my problems always goes away after 1-2min. And only happens when the engine is cold, and I mean like if the weathers icey. Doesnt happen in summer. But I was told it may be Hydraulic Lifters aka tappets.
I dont have a clue on engines though, so dont take my word for it

It doesnt matter you unplug o2 sensors or your o2 sensors faulty. Still you will get silly working engine.
Do you have a change to read ECU errors. and tappets self adjusting hydraulic one. And I never saw faulty throttle body. But there is a calibration throttle body in PeugeotPlanet2000 software. But Its only about performance of your car. Even mis/wrong calibrated your idle must be same as correctly calibrated. And one of my friend cars (gti180) have problem with injectors due bad fuel. Sonic cleaning solved his problem.

Point-to-Point fault diagnosis... Because when you decat the exhaust you dont have them do you? and yea got laptop software no stored faults.
