Eat this 2 Posted June 4, 2007 Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 whats it like with a little bit of throttle?check hoses for sir leaks they cause loads of poor running issues Link to post Share on other sites
mike 6 Posted June 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2007 well throttle works ok, but the revs are dipping down to about 400-500 near stalling point and just took it out for a spin to get teh temp up and still doing it...second gear felt really jerky? was running 100% all be it a lil slower till i disconected teh battery...so im guessing electrical? sensor amybe?

dwa1974 0 Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 i would disconnect t he battery again. when you reconnect it turn your key so that all the lights come on BUT DONT TURN IT OVER. Leave it for a good twenty mins while the ecu resests itself. Link to post Share on other sites
VR6Rich 3 Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 As the problem seemed to be with your idleing I suggest it was the throttle body that needed adapting again, by turning the ignition on a leaving it for 5 minutes or so, would have heard the throttle body making noises while it was adapting.

VR6Pete 1,455 Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Whenever i disconnect my battery/ECU etc... VAG-COM comes out to check for DTC's and to adapt my TB. Link to post Share on other sites
