1.5 diesel,revs then slow to/wont return to idle

Hi,

My aircon has the rotary type compressor, so there is very little drag when it is on, unlike a petrol golf I once had which slowed dramatically when the compressor cut in, then jumped forward when it cut out! (It had a piston type compressor)

I have throught about a cutout at full load, it would be easy to do with a switch on top of the injector pump, or even an automatic transmission kick down switch under the accellerator pedal.

However at the moment I have a slowly leaking seal on the compressor so it doesn't hold gas for long, and it's the old style gas which you can't get anymore.... so I need to convert it to R13A.

Cheers!

Small set back

while doing the head gasket I droped a bolt from the water transfer on the end of the head, just thought it had fallen into the grass and gavel below never to be seen again. How wrong was I, it had gone into the bell housing, making itself present, about a week later, by knocking a small hole in the gear box and liberating all the gear oil. Still managed to drive it home 35k's and then back into work 50k's to swap in the spare. All's well now.

Although I still have the slow return to idle issue

At start up it will intermitently blow puffs of white smoke and miss fires, I think it could be a leaky injector.
