my 16v reving up



A combination of two things caused my high idle problem when I bought my 16V: an extremely dirty idle air stabilizer valve, and a poorly adjusted idle set screw.  Easy 15 minute fix in this case.

There was a good guide of troubleshooting idle problems on a 16v somewhere, I thought it was on scirocco.org but I can't find it now... I'm sure someone will chime in with the link.
