Steve GT Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 sounds like boost leak to me dudemine used to do that cause the pipe coming from the turbo feeding the boost gauge was loose under my footwell and i kept catching it and breaking the joinso it used to sit there in idle revving up and downif you have a boost gauge check the pipe feeding it hasnt come apart from somewhere if not check the whole turbo system pipes joins etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steve GT Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 just thought of something else whens the last time you changed your fuel filter? if its been a while they can sometimes clog up with crap and restrict the fuel coming through, this could cause the up and down idling if its not letting a consistant level of fuel throughhope this helps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nutnut Posted February 25, 2010 Author Share Posted February 25, 2010 solved the problem.It was the small black hose that joins the pcv valve to the inlet manifold , It developed a split.Replaced it , car idles sweet now.Checked all the other pipes as you suggested & all look fine.Gonna do a service on the car soon so i will do the fuel filter then.Cheers Badass for your advice Quote Link to post Share on other sites
