Re: Stalling problems

Check your vacuum lines, any lose or leaking fittings/lines 
would cuase your ar idle to vary or stall if it gets worse your car 
may not even start. Had this problem on my scirroco the hose 
comming from the manifold to the auxilary air stabilizer had a 
small pin hole init which caused my car to stall at traffic lights.  
This went unnoticed mostly becuase its behind the manifold.
