Mk3 Vr6 idle canister????? help

[GLFPNK]

The little black canister that is attatched to the idle stepper motor and throttle body is busted,
do I need to replace it with a new one or is there a mod that can be done?

Cheers

im in mernda but it isnt hard to do i made up my own stainless intake http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/f47/...-32201-12.html
but you can make up some sort of connection with the right fittings and hose

Which ports need to be interconnected?
Do you still use the idle stepper motor or did you delete this also?
Nice pics Thanks for your help on this pete.

yeah you still need the isv
come from the manifold
into the side of the isv then join the strait to the intake boot
no worries dude

Hey mate, i did this mod on the weekend and it was running fine then i started having a problem with it stalling now.
I sprayed the ISV with WD40 and that seemed to work but now it's stalling again, is this a tell tale sign of a worn out ISV?
I hope not.

[mk3pete]

does it stall only when its cold?

[GLFPNK]

Nah just randomly all the time. it didn't do it for 2 days when i sprayed it. just thought it was sticking

[mk3pete]

thats probabley it then dude
mine stalls but only when its cold, i mean the very first crank over but i give it some slight revs and its all good
not worth the cost of a new isv
iv tried cleaning my isv but didnt help
maybe i need to try a bit harder actually take it out and give it a good soak

[GLFPNK]

Yeah cool sounds good I will cive that a crack and let you know how I go.
Cheers for the advice once again mate!

[mk3pete]

no worries
