Hello folks, When changing the oil on the westie before our trip, I noticed that the engine idles all over the place until stalling eventually. Put the filler cap back on and things are more normal. What is this happening and is it normal for the 1.9? what is up with the VW ventilation system that causes this? About being more normal in idleing, the bus now is even better, during this episode with the filler cap, I noticed that the filler tube was cracked. I wrapped tape around to seal this crack and the mild yet annoying lumpy idle condition my westie had, is now gone. It might be worth looking into this area for those of you having idle problems.
