Sounds like a vacuum leak?  This would make for a bad idle and a lean
condition which would make it run hot.  Start replacing vacuum lines,
they're cheap insurance.  Check the elbow at the AFM/throttle body.

Well, thanks you everyone for their input on my numerous problems.  Yet
again I'm frustrated with my mechanical abilities.  My engine is running
hot, I have an eratic idle and it jutters every once in a while when
driving.  Time to drop some $$ on my mechanic not that I think he won't
be able to fix these things, but I really want to be able to do it
myself.  There should be a do it youself VW class offered for anyone who
is insane enough to be dragged through the love/hate relationship with
their van. Agree?
