I changed my plugs twice over the last 45K.  The last time was 15K ago, I'm 
using the Bosch Superplug thing with the three electrodes.

I thought it might have something to do with my injectors.  I changed the 
distributor_cap, rotor and wires a few weeks ago, didn't help any.

        I currently have the same problem with my '86 8V Scirocco.  The
frequency of the variation in idlespeed is not constant but it happens 
everyday,
all the time.  It jumps between 1000 and 750, just as Sean had mentioned.

        I don't know if you guys had the same problem but another thing
that
happens is every morning when I start it up it seems to run on 3 
cylinders
for a
few seconds or sometimes even a minute, kinda like it's not firing all 4.

Then
if I rev it or wait for a minute it settles down.  Any ideas?

By this token alone, the first thing I would do is yank all of your spark 
plugs and take a look at them.  The plugs can tell you a lot of what is 
happening in your car.  I wish I had one of those Bosch posters that 
showed what to look for on a spark plug and what it means.
