Hey all,

I have a 1999 V Reg VW Lupo and think its a great little car. Only one problem, im having idle speed issues.

The problem is that when i come up to a junction and sometimes when i am driving at low speeds the engine cuts out and the battery light comes on.
When the car is just stationary and idling the rpm fluctuates approx 400 - 800 rpm.

As you can imagine this is very annoying and a bit of a worry every time i have to drive anywhere to be honest.

Can anyone please help me? I just don't know what the problem could be, has anyone any ideas or suggestions of how i can fix this?

Your help would me much appreciated, i look forward to hearing from you all!

Cheers

Chris
