Bad Idle issue and also Traction control!!

[andy_lang]

Hi all,

Right my mk1 Cupra has developed an idling issue which was very random but now more and more so.
Idle is very irritac (excuse spelling!) and when I clutch it often now just conks out!! This is very VERY annoying at junctions, roundabouts etc!
While on idle its hovering around 500 rpm and hunting, small puffs of black smoke out the back, noticed last nite in head lights behind there was a fair bit of smoke!!

Any ideas??!?

Now also, since owning it the traction controls never been working. Has the button to turn it off, but its not on to start with. Does anyone know what may of happened? Its been like it since ive owned it (about 2 months or so).

Thanks,

Andy

could do with a vagcom scan for codes and maybe some logging to diagnose properly mate.
