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.

As mentioned idle stepper motor would benefit from a clean, i'd be inclined to remove the whole throttle body myself and give it a good going over but you might find thats not necessary.

Isnt that the normal idle range? Is on my gti anyway, unless your engine is struggling to tick over?

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

Can't help with picture of your map sensor location as I only have access to 1.4 8V at the moment.

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.

Sorry, but either way it will be different to a 1.4 8V.
