Gti Iceman Posted February 24, 2003 Share Posted February 24, 2003 Got a GTi with KN57i, LongLife Exhaust, and Superchip. Car runs great, with loads of power. The only problem is that when the egine is cold, just warming up it idles a bit high, then turns lumpy. When warm the car is sweat. I have had fitted a new thermostat, temp sensor and had the Idle Speed Control Valve replaced. Any ideas??? Cheers x: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
