Re: Idle?

[Stephen Weenink <weinerman99@yahoo.com>]

I have a fried w/a Golf that has the same problem, his car is a
Digifant, yours is a CIS.  The dealership told him to replace the idle
stabilizer (a $300 piece that I got him at a local wrecking yard for
$10).  Some of the other listers would know if the CIS cars have this
idle stabilizer piece....
