idles at 2k revs

[fisal]

Hi all

ive got a cupra r 225 54 reg with 85k on clock, ive recently changed the oil, so here it goes,

when i start my car it revs at 2k, i put it in 1st the it idles just below 1 (normal)

but when i start driving the car stil revs at 2k no less, no matter what gear im in, but once i start driving the problem goes away, but then come back randomly, this hasnt caused me much problems, just the makes the car shake when i change gear thats all.

any help

thanks

I had the same symptoms after my water pump went. I have an LCR and it was the Temp Sensor (not the one in the expansion tank), a small green one, can remeber exactly what it was called, but is down on the right side of the engine. It was causeing the ECU to mess the mixture up, i presume because it was getting an incorrect Temp figure. May be some others on here could give a better description.

Cheers

Yeah might be that as it's the electronic "choke".
Worth a pop for £10 what they cost.

As I don't have any part number is this the one i'm after?:

All seem to have the same part number of:

o.e reference : 059 919501A
Manufacturer: Febi Bilstein (Germany)

Half the price of any parts companies..

Cheers, i'll get one of those ordered now. Mine has flagged up a fault twice now and over the past few days has started the 2k idle thing. I could do without worse fuel economy right now :-D

£8.50 delivered through one of those links. Makes the parts suppliers prices seems like daylight robbery! EuroCarParts want £21.68 plus delivery and unless they are using pattern parts they have made up their own part number as it doesn't match the real one needed.

i wouldnt buy off ebay even if they say they are genuine and look genuine i had a maf about half price off ebay in a bosch box and it was terrible so now i only ever buy engine specific parts OEM

 

[LEE69]

There is nothing wrong with them, they are pattern parts just like a motor factors would sell.
Mine as been in for ages and still works A1

I'm using a febi one off Ebay to with no problems.....febi is a good make I've never had any poblems with any of their parts.

Seat dealer only charged my £14 for a new green temp sender... nice 2 minute job as well!

The only ones I could find anywhere are made by febi, so can't see the point in getting anything other than the cheapest. Dealers and Eurocarparts wanted £22+. Ebay was £8.50 delivered.

Surprisingly mine was already waiting for me once I got to my parents so I fitted it today. Problem solved, idles properly and the temp gets to proper running temp.

Was a much quicker job than I expected too. Longest time was spent trying to get those STUPID engine cover clips to grip properly!

Mine went and when it started it revved to 3k then splutterd, missfired and poped through the intake. Green one from local motor factors cost 14.50
