Hi all. My girlfriend has a Mk3 Golf 1.4. It was running fine until this week. The idle speed keeps dropping to about 600-800 and sometimes cuts out. What should it be? What could cause it to drop? I also noticed there was a slight popping noise coming from in the engine bay, haven't located it yet! Engines aren't my strong point, just started fiddling with them! |
