I like air conditioning; I like it a lot. When I drive, I drive with the AC on. That's just how I roll. So, the problem for me is that the 2.1L WBX wants to idle at 2k with the AC on. Doesn't do it with the AC switched off. I usually just blip the throttle and it settles down again, but this is getting to be quite annoying and possibly not entirely good for my ongoing health. It's always done this intermittently to some extent, but now it's really pronounced and super-double-extramittent. Can I assume the idle air control valve is "sticking", or is this more likely an idle relay issue? I know Audis have an idle control valve that can be taken apart and lubed up when they stick, but these appear to be factory sealed from prying eyes and hands. The van is getting a TDI swap in the near future, but I would like to continue driving it in the meantime. What say ye gurus? -- Casey
