What engine is it? if its a 1.4 id say clean the throttle body out then get a throttle body alignment/reset with vagcom theres loads of guides on how to do a TBA on the net using vagcom i had to do it to my old polo its dead easy if not i had it done before that at a garage for £30.

hi no checked all pipes and there all fine its a 1.8t

i just aint got a clue

 

[Defacto]

mine's being doing that for a while, and i've also heard of others. If you do a search you'll find all sort of explanations.

At first I did all the standard suggestions (throttle body clean/alignment, change the oil and asked around a bit). Mine only does the cutting out if i've left it for a couple of days without use.

Got my hands on a ebay cable last week, with the free version of vagcom. For the life of me I havent been able to work it, jsust says something about interface not recognised. Don't want to fork out the 60 they charge to vagcom'it up around here.

I'm guessing it's most likely to be one of fthe sensors, and it would be an easy fix as well, once you know wtf is actually going wrong

Sounds like its your t/b or possibly your d/v sticking open or seal gone if its a 007p when was the last time you serviced it.?

i aint fot a forge 007p dv iv got a weird one which was on car already its not a recurculating one but it was fine on car yea iv been told its the t/b needs cleaning then summin resetting through vag com

These cars are designed to run on reserc d/v if its a fully atmos then that will cause problems itself...if its a dual port like the split-r then its proberly not set up correct. Id look at changing it for the correct d/v fitment asap.

Mine does this, just put it down to the SplitR being shite. I cleaned it all today so see if it makes a difference.

 

[chris_200120vt]

i run a split-r had no problem with it at all have you got it put in the right way also how many turns have you put on it as i found that with too many turns you could hear it ticking

 

[Cuprajohn]

i searched for an answer on this ages ago, an was told it was to do with the d/v being to close to the maf summit like that wrong tip i think. ill hunt for the post.
