The revs surge between 1500 and 3000 rpm making driving tricky.
Local garage cleared the fault codes then re-read them, one for lambda sensor (which was renewed a few months ago and emissions are still fine), other is for temperature sensor which he says never manifests as erratic tickover. So he suspects the idle air control valve.
Does anyone have any experience of changing this on a VAG 1.8 petrol?
Is it an easy job? Where is the cheapest place to buy one? Would a secondhand one be OK to get the car running to sell?
Thanks for any advice
