psilosimon 8 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I've had the dash apart to fix the heater matrix on my VR6 and now the automatic choke has stopped working. any ideas? Link to post Share on other sites
legvw 0 Posted February 1, 2012 Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 Automatic choke?What are the symptoms? Is it hard to start? Will it idle once started? Does it miss fire? Does it hunt? Could be any number of issues.You need to give us all a bit more info, and have you tried pluging it into vagcom? Link to post Share on other sites
psilosimon 8 Posted February 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2012 It will fire up on the key but dies. If the revs are kept up until it gets some warmth the idle is very low. Once fully warm it seems ok. Link to post Share on other sites
legvw 0 Posted February 2, 2012 Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 Sounds like a temperature sensor issue, as the warm up cycle is controlled by the ecu via a signal from the coolant/air temp sensors.Could also be an issue (is it obd1?) with the idle control valve.But vagcom would help diagnosis...

psilosimon 8 Posted February 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2012 I drove it last night, went up a hill with a few revs, it juddered and would not rev below 2k so I turned it off. After that it all seemed to work fine again!!!I am none the wiser. Link to post Share on other sites
