shail 0 Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 Sounds like a problem with the HT side of things. Check you HT leads and distributor / coil pack. If you do a search on coil pack on here theres plenty of info for ya! Also do a search for ISV or idle stabilisation valve - not cleaned one myself, but seems to have helped others with problems.

Nerih 0 Posted August 1, 2005 Report Share Posted August 1, 2005 spark plugs, idle stabilsation valve spark leads, engine sensor, dirty fuel system/pump/filter needs changing, vacuum leak..the list is endless.I recommend getting it VAGCOM'd (get the fault codes read asap).
