idle actuator

[ranahan@charter.net (John Erickson)]

Go ahead and adjust the idle down with the screw on the 
back of the throttle body.  The farther in you screw the 
screw, the more work the ISV is required to do.  If you go 
too far, the idle will dip too low when you let off the 
gas, but it will bounce back up.  Just back it out until 
that doesn't happen anymore.  Not exactly scientific, but 
it should work.

|  Since I'm no mechanic and I don't have that manual (btw 
|: maybe someone
|offers to send me here in Romania a good Scirocco manual, 
|I will
|send the money back, we don't use credit cards around 
|this part of the
|world so I can't buy anything off the net) I never tryed 
|the second part.
|I am asking you if the idle RPM is 2000 is it worth 
|trying to apply the
|second part of the procedure ? Or that piece is dead ?
|  Thanks a lot,
|  Luci
|
|p.s.
|  I will take a mechanic course a.s.a.p., even if it 
|means to quit my
|current job, that's how much I love my car :)
