Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • Gti idle problems

    Facts: 1999 mk4 gti AGU
    It started out as an unsettled idle which wasn't too bad, but just recently when stopping at lights and such idle is around 1100, much higher than the usual 800.
    I suspect the pcv system or a vacuum leak and am wondering where would be the common places to look?
    Could it be a dodgey temp sensor?

    Check all the vacuum lines and PCV pipes.

    The rubber on the PCV pipe from the rocker cover goes all soft and mushy, and prone to leak.

      Could it be the 'hockey puck' pressure regulator valve that's doing this?
