here are a few that i have seen in my 2.0 16v....various distances and speeds :D

albie, in the haynes manual for the passat 9A engine it says Manifold to Downpipe 40 nm 30lbf ft i hope this helps :D

at the bottom of this page

when i had my coilovers fitted i had the same problem.....had to fit 10mm spacers on the backs and 5mm spacers on the front...not sure why but i was just happy it worked.....i didn't do any of the work myself tho :D

this may be of help....if it works :D

i had a problem when i fitted my new cd/mp3 player....the car wouldn't start.....a new ignition switch sorted it out...not sure the reasons but the ignition switch seems to be something that needs replacing at some point anyway

I know what you mean.....there are lots going cheap just now....and if i hadn't just spent an obsene amout doing up my new house then i would have had one by now.....i have been watching the prices drop for the last year. maybe if they keep going i'll get one eventually :D

check all the hoses between the mass air flow meter(maf) and the throttle body....especially the 2 thin pipes that connect to the underside of the pipe at the throttle body.....take the idle speed control valve(isv) off and clean it with carb cleaner or similar......check the wiring on the plug that plugs onto the throttle potentiometer. if you use the search you will find all these things and many more......bad idiling is very common good luck.....and welcome

give it a few days and get to your doctor.....whiplash normally doesn't show for the first couple of days....... that should ease the pain :lol:

i had a very similar problem for about a year....torture. mine turned out to be the wires were broken inside the plastic covers at the plug for the throttle potentiometer(throttle position switch) once fixed all was well. since fixing that i have had the odd dodgy idle but its just the small pipes that attatch to the underside of the rubber pipe that joins the throttle body working their way off.....once back on steady idle it took me a year of cleaning the isv, checking and re checking all the pipes from airbox to the throttle body, buying a new mass air flow meter, throttle potentiometer, distributor,leads,coil...etc good luck

see if this is any use

mmm....that might rule me out then :lol:

as above, a friend has a set of these taking up room and he says i can take them if they will fit in the c so does anyone know if it is possible? pic 1 taken from ebay pic 2 the only one i have of the actual ones....just :lol:

not sure this will work but we'll see2.8l 24v Climatronic system.pdfDoc1.doc[/attachment:340ca]Doc2.doc[/attachment:340ca]

welcome mate, i'm in glasgow :D as for meets i know the scottish vag forum have regular meets...i'm registered on there but have not been to a meet.....yet. vardo who comes on here , really nice silver c 8) goes to a few i think......the most recent one anyway

oh...mine used to do that but when i had the toad fitted the guy said i had to sacrafice that for the full closure....didn't really like it anyway :lol:

i also have a toad Ai606 on a 93' and also unsure what auto locking is?

£231 + black cloth interior in good nick :lol:

you must be one of the calmest people on the planet....i'd have been at their door long before that going f***in crazy :snipersmile:

welcome mate......i'm in glasgow 8)

my 2.0 16v must be doing quite well then.....or lying to me :D if i get lower than 34 on any motorway journey its a surprise got this a couple of weeks ago not a big trip.....10-12miles speed 60/85 ish :lol:

the potentiometer is the bit under the throttle body.......not easy to get to .....really got to take the throttle body off to get access to it

check out the wiring for the throttle potentiometer,and the 2 small hoses that connect to the underside of the air intake at the throttle body. 2 out of the 3 wires for the plug for the potentiometer on mine were broken inside the plastic coating......that was really easy to find out.....not.......took about a year of bad idiling to get annoyed enough to keep looking until found. since i joined the wires the idle has been spot on good luck :D

got this after driving home tonight.....about a 10 mile journey 2.0 16v

i did the kr cam thing recently and when i got it all back together it sounded like a rough running taxi......turned out the tensioner was too loose......new belt and tensioner and all well :D ...this info might be useless but...?? hope you get it sorted mate
