eskerman Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Would appreciate some advice on a problem I have with my 2005 B7 1.8T Car has always been well serviced and recently I have an engine idle problem - runs lumpy on tickover and when I restrict on of the vacuum lines that runs under the manifold - it clears and the engine performs fine - something in the vacuum system that is causing this - I’ve checked for leaks and can’t find any - the attached photo shows where I have a small vice grip restricting the line and the car runs 100% any advice or recommissions would be appreciated thanks Paul D250AC07-D1AC-4495-A9D3-1F8870606A21.MOV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Q Posted August 10, 2020 Share Posted August 10, 2020 I'm wondering if it's an air pressure issue with the MAF is playing up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskerman Posted August 10, 2020 Author Share Posted August 10, 2020 Thanks Steve - there are so many vacuum pipes and connectors- it’s very hard to diagnose - no engine codes at all and with that pipe slightly closed off the car runs fine 🙄 Paul Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
