Pittuf 0 Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 Do you run your car light on petrol, could be dragging stuff up from the tank. I had the same sort of problem with an old escourt. Link to post Share on other sites

j7dub 0 Posted June 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 how di get my cars pic on so that its underneath or beside my details like some guys have done it looks good Link to post Share on other sites
Pittuf 0 Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 To get a picture in your signature, underneath each post you need to upload one from a hosting site, http://www.photobucket.com/ then in your setting area.Not sure about under you details, its called an Avitar, also accessible from your settings area. pretty much the same process i'd guess. There was a post in the suggestions/help section by vwscotsgirl I think.As for your stalling problem I ain't too sure TBH mate, but someone on who knows more about engines than me will be able to help :-) Link to post Share on other sites
acf8181 0 Posted June 28, 2004 Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 dos it cut out when you're on the throttle or off the throttle? if on it could well be the ISV...but its so hard to guess whats wrong with a vr6 as they're so complicated. best thing is to have the ECU fault codes diagnosed, a vw specialist should be able to do it for about £25 max.you get a pic, by hosting your pics on a hosting site, such as http://www.photobucket.com, then pasting the link into the 'signatures' box in your profile with {img} and {/img} at each side of it - but switch the { and } for [ and ] - i can't do in the post or it tries to show a image. also make sure the pic is only 500x150 pixels in size.

j7dub 0 Posted June 28, 2004 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2004 it normally cuts out when you let go of the pedal someone siad to me that the isv starts sticking after a few cleans and then you have to replace it. i think if my dealers saw the car they would crap themselves they are the kind of guys who say that vws should be left alone. can i be really cheeky is it possible that you could sort my pics out for me as i hate messing with files and uploads etc can t undasatnd em iv got pictues that i can e mail you i want a pic putting up where my car is at a show Link to post Share on other sites

nickbee 1 Posted June 29, 2004 Report Share Posted June 29, 2004 Ahh. I thought they did away with the ISV with the dizzys. My idle's all over the place sometimes. Maybe that's the problem! Link to post Share on other sites
