probably not, it will just drink more fuel. i meant if the dodgy idle is sorted out thats what it will be. but dont take my soul advice here, check before you buy a new one as there pretty expensive  |

| If its a turbo powered model, its probably the throttle body. If its a non turbo, it'll be sparks/HT leads/MAF sensor. Best to ask Guy. Best bloke to know about the MK4 platform  |

| i have looked at all the pipes but cant find any leaks when i disconect the mass air flow there is no chance to the running of the engine which makes me think its the throttle body as it been off a few times and cleaned it works fine for a day or so but then the problem comes back does any one no where i can go it have it put on a vw computer to find the problem as vw wont £80 to stick it on the computer |
