Ebay for the lead (about £25), shareware version of VAG-COM 409.1 free at : http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/download/archives.html JB > lost tickover, just stops when no throttle Had this on my T4 also - Worked around it by tweaking the idle adjusting screw (a real fiddly job it was too!). Left it feeling gutless in the mid- throttle positions, but at least it was driveable. Later took it to the local VW wagon service place and they couldn't find any fault, other than the CO level was too low. They tweaked that up and now everything runs fine, but I don't know why the problem suddenly appeared and suspect there is an air leak somewhere. > no haynes manual either The Brooklands one is adequate, but buy direct as it will be cheaper than fleabay or the like. Al. thanks for advice checked vacuum hoses, quite bunged up small box on back of throttle unit clicks and continues after stall and ignition switch off local dealer poor, will try a few more things before diagnosticks tickover just stopped instantly after short stop no warning, thought it might be electronic does anyone know of any audi with simillar engine management on 5 cylinder 2.5l petrol? |
