idling

When i bought it, it wouldnt run assumed the battery was shot, put a good battery on it and it still wouldnt idle so i started on the usual vw faults lol. Took the TB off and cleaned it, checking the idle switch, all ok. checked the wiring along the back of the engine, all brittle and snapped...

Hi y'all the wife and I bought a 2001 18t cupra today and we love it. Problems started when we got near home and found the idling was getting lumpy and the car was on the verge of cutting out, so frustrating. We have 12 months warranty on it so no problems but what could be the cause of...

My cordy has been misfiring occasionally whilst idling, and sometimes it will hesitate / cut out when setting off on a hill. I think it is losing pressure on the fuel system, just wondering if any one else has had this problem, and if so is as simple as a new gasket on the manifold? Also the...

Guys, My 150 tdi sport toledo, revs erratically when ticking over. One minute it will be fine, idling at 900rpm then it will rise to 1300rpm for a brief second before coming down to 1100rpm and staying there until it decides to return to 900rpm, which can take up to a minute or so...

Hi guys, I bought the BSH Catch Can kit as part of the group by on mk5golfgti.com. I received the kit on Saturday and got a chance to fit it last night. It was straight forward enough to fit, just like any other Golf GTI/Octavia VRS guide, but in order to fit the bracket to support the can...

Have read a few threads on idling issues but can't find a answer that seems to match my issue. The last post by kineticz was close though! What started off as a occasional problem is now happening everytime. When the car is started from cold ( as in left overnight cold) it will start fine...

Is there a general default idling speed? and is there a way in Vagcom to set this manually? The reason I ask is, my cars idling speed ~750rpm its vibrating the car quiet alot since i have put in a uprated dog bone mount ~ upon changing the revs to 1000rpm (with the pedal) its smooth and no...

Hi I'm having problems with my fr550(08). sometimes when i start the car up it idles at 1000rpm and sounds like its straining and stays there until i move off but when i stop it stays at 1000rpm. My local dealer has tested it but couldn't find any problems. it doesn't happen all the time tho...

I have just purchased a 1.4 tsi mk2 leon. I noticed it was very noisy on idle. Dealer initially diagnosed "cam follower problem" and I left them with the car. After help from Seat UK they said it was just a noisy fuel pump [which is driven from the camshaft on these engines]. They said they...

Slight problem with my ibiza, seems to be getting a bit worse, basicly when driving its fine but when i come to a stop the engine drops to idle and then it seems to be missing / running very lumpy, i have noticed that it happens more when im on the brakes and i have got an ABS fault .. could it...

Hi, I have a Seat Ibiza Chill 1.4 02 plate and over the past couple of months the engine stuggles to idle when cold. When I come up to junctions, dip the clutch the car almost, and sometimes does stall. Has anyone had this same problem or knows what causes it and whether there is a simple...

Hi, my wifes ibiza has been noisy on tickover for a few weeks, (quite tappety/noisy) the management light has been on for a while also, but sometimes switches off. I put this down to having a brake light off (which was changed the other day) We've put the car in for a service, and onto a...

My Mk2 (16V ABF) was doing this with ever increasing regularity, pull up at lights or junctions and it would take it upon itself to sit and rev at anything up to 3K, go down the road a bit and was OK again. Very annoying. After cleaning out my ICV, Throttle body and associated bits and bobs for...

I don't think this is normal but on ignition the car idles at around 1000rpm and then settles between 700-900 after a few minutes. The vibrations at 1000 can be felt through the drivers seat which to me is abnormal. Does this indicate anything specific to anyone?

now i have had this for a while thought i could figure out how to sort it out but... when i start my car i have to keep my foot on the gas and keep it idling at 1000rpm, when im driving if i change gear in a 'cant be arsed mood' the revs drop to 250rpm then battery light comes on then i...

i have a mk3 ibiza cupra and i'm getting the following problem.. i have lumpy idle, but only when changing down gear and coming to a stop. also its lumpy when accelerating, but okay if driving slowly (still a tiny bit rough though) just had a coil go on me last week. only error code on...

Hello Everybody! First post on the forum! [B)] I've got a 2007 Ibiza 1.4 100bhp, 19k on the clock, just serviced, and apart from this issue, sweet as a nut! But, I've noticed in the mornings when I start the engine its idle isn't steady, it can be jumping from about 1100rpm to 1400rpm...

Hi Guy's, New to the Forum and Leon Cupra TDI owner ship. 4 weeks ago I moved over from a Mk 3 Golf VR6 to a LC_TDI for various reasons that I won't bore you with but effectively wanted similar performance to the VR6 but with better fuel economy ( does this sound familiar :)). Anyway I have...

Misfire on idling Hi all, My car misfires when idling and gradually reduces rpm until about 500rpm where it tries to cut out and jumps up abit then cuts out. :( If I rev it hard to say 5k rpm there is no misfire. If I rev it very slightly the misfire gets worse The car hasn't been...
