LuPo SpOrTX Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Just a guess as ive had this problem, could be a sensor of some sort.My lamder sensor went on my car a while back & had this problem for a while, eventually it just kept cutting out!Although im not a mechanic and dont know an awful lot about cars, so its just a guess!

Lukus 9N Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Have you tried screwing the adjustment screw under the bonnet? (Someone back me up, I'm no car mechanic, but my dad did it on my Lupo for me!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazz-Loop Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Its in the garage and the guy is unsure what to do next and is going to have a word with vw.Anyone else elaborate on what Lukus has said??What do you mean by the adjustment screw under the bonnet? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukus 9N Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I'm sure it's a screw, with a plastic cap on it which will increase the intake of *something* into the engine, increasing idle revs. Someone should know this for sure.
