New Members Say Hi! / Re: Idle problems MK1
Many thanks! I am in Portugal but the car was imported...i believe from Germany in 1996. I tried the sensor you mentioned but the problem persists :(
Any other ideas?
Tks in advance

New Members Say Hi! / Idle problems MK1
Greetings! I had gone through a couple shops to try to fix the unstable cold idle of my MK1 Golf Cabrio (1991), with the 1.8lt, 90HP engine.
It seemed the idle valve was the problem, I replaced it and the issue persists. A couple years ago, a technician who seemed to know a lot of the older VW Golf said he chose to leave it running well when hot and not that well while cold.
In fact, about 1:00/1:30m after starting the engine, and revving it smoothly, the Idle becomes stable and the car runs well.
Has anyone ever experienced the same issue? I believe this engine (injection) is already an MK2 gen.
Cheers, Pedro
