00 beetle 1.8L Turbo has idle problem

bratt · 04-27-2008, 01:24 AM

I finally got my beetle started up. It hasnt been started for almost a year.
The idle is really ruff. I can drive it fine but the idle pulses and stalls out because it is definitely too low on rpm.

Does any1 know how to adjust the idle on the 00 beetle 1.8L turbo?
If I turn the idle up Im sure it wont stall out anymore

you really cant mess with the idle on the beetle. does it have a check engine light on or anything? you might just have to take it to get the basic settings set on the throttle body.

no check engine. I scanned for codes and it does not have any check engine codes stored. It said NO CODES.

I think it might be dirty or something. It only idles ruffly, everything else works perfectly

I might buy some new spark plugs and clean the injectors out and the throttle body and intake
