mk3 97 gti 8v occasionally stalls when clutch disengaged

[svenema]

My Golf occasionally stalls when the clutch is disengaged and the revs drop. Sometimes they come back to a normal level but occasionally it stalls which can be fun on a roundabout etc especially when the power steering goes! Sometimes the revs don't dip at all. I am ok at twirling the spanners but don't fancy changing loads of parts before finding the fault! Any ideas chaps?? :1zhelp:

cheers

Hello and welcome to the forum. This is a common problem and you need to have the throttle body removed and internally cleaned then reset in basic adjustment mode 001 using diagnostic equipment such as VAG-COM.

Cheers Crasher, glad somebody knows their backside from their elbow unlike me!

Lots of answers to that but don't want to get kicked off forum when just started! Glad your car knowledge better than your Biology!

Biology? Missed that lesson as I was chasing girls.
