as above only just started where should i start its a 2000 amk s3
 
Vacuum leak :)

Look at all the pipes under the inlet manifold

<tuffty/>
 
And if no leaks, take the throttle body off nd give it a good clean.
 
Take it that amk is electronic throttle body? If so 4 alankey bolts, one little pipe on the top, a plug to unclip, a gaskets not to lose and a intercooler pipe to come off. I always clean mine with electrical connection cleaner from maplins but break cleaner will be ok in small quantities. Dont move the flap unless you have vag com to reset it.
 
I just cleaned my TB and before the the rev counter would bounce at idle and after cleaning it out its all good no more bounce!
 
has anyone moved the throttle like in the cleaning gide?
