VW 1.4 SE engine stall - Mondeo Man 100000.....
Hello

Engine stalls when clutch is depressed. Supposed to be due to blockage in 'throttle housing'. What is the best method to cure this.
Fit new throttle housing?
Clean out blockage?
Any problems in resetting controls if housing is only cleaned out?

Thanks

hi

that sounds strange

when you press the clutch you remove the link the the gearbox therefore the engine has no load

how can removing the load stop the engine

Hello

This was the VW garage recomendation + also an ex VW mechanic.

I will post the result of fitting a cleaned out, 2nd hand, throttle housing.
