98 1.6 Golf. It never seems to idle smoothly but is really only a problem when reverse parking as it is prone to stalling.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Get a spray cleaner for carburettor and throttle body(injection) and spray inside the throttle body to clean the gunk/oily deposits and dont forget to spray after the MAF !. You may need to rev the engine slightly to avoid stalling.

Thanks I'll try that but what is MAF? I guess something like Mass Air Flow?

Cheers

Yes Mass Airflow Meter and should be after airbox with a plug sticking out of it. Its verry sensitive to contamination so make shure you dont spray before it ! Thanks.
