Hi there,
This is my first post on this forum so hi to everyone :)
I have recently developed a problem on my 1.6s Golf. My rev count would be at 1 in the morning but once the car warmed up it would go down below 1 (as normal) then when driving around it would randomly go back to 1 when come to a standstill and it would stay there for a while then when it pleased it would come back to under 1.
A few days ago my local mechanic had a look at this and said it could be the throttle that needs cleaning, so he cleaned the throttle and sprayed some cleaner on it.
After this it has gone worse, the revs go up to 1.5 while standstill and goes up and down from 1 to 1.5 while in standstill. As you can imagine it is rather annoying.
Anyone have any ideas of how to diagnose this problem? Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers in advance. :)
