1985 Rabbit Cabriolet will not idle cold
Hello all. My gas rabbit suddenly will not idle when cold (10 degree C
weather or 50 degree F). Will start and rev up then starts to run rough and die. Able to quickly restart. Once the car is warmed up, will run fine. I checked for vacuum leaks, but can't seem to fine any problems. suggestions? Thanks Grant |

1985 Rabbit Cabriolet will not idle cold
Not wishing to hijack this thread, but I've got the same problem on an
'86 Golf. Symptoms are exactly the same. Unfortunately, due not having much spare time at the time, I took the car to a local garage to take a look at. Got the car back from them and the problem seemed to have been cured. However, I suspect they either just frigged it, as having recently taken the car in for it's MOT, it failed on emissions. This garage tuned the car to fix the emissions issue, but low and behold, the cold-idle issue is back. Presumably this is some form of carb issue? Is a replacement worth considering? Anything else to check in the mean time? Any thoughts much appreciated. Cheers, Mark |

Check again for vac. leaks. What engine is it?

(Just kidding) should check out your intake hose for cracks and also the intake manifold for leaks. Once it's hot, the leaks go away due to expansion and in the case of rubber contraction. -- Jeeps and dubs and everything's nice... |
