slso when sitting at lights it'll flip between 1.5k and 1.8k rpm..
i think the throttle body is either fecked or gunged up. going to try the advice i've been given alreeady on here and clean it - failing that just get it replaced under my RAC warranty.
Either a dirty throttle body or a faulty temp sender. The sensor is located on top on the thermostat housing, most VW dealer should know what you're talking about since this part goes bad very, very often.
The result is rough or too high idling, sometimes stalling, etc etc.
You don't need to reset the TB if you leave it in place. If you take it off, I've been told you DO need to have it reset.
