idleing and staling probs still!!!

[loubyvr6 0]

I hope someone can help me, ive alredy posted about this as some of you will prob remember, but probs are still persisting.

ok, about 6 weeks ago i started having probs with her stalling when i went down my gears, and being very reluctent to start again. When she did start she stank of fuel, ran lumpy and wouldnt keep a steady idle speed.

so i replaced the spark plugs, ht leads, coilpack, fuel filter, gave her an oil and filter change, and cleaned the isv.

Although this did make the engine pick up better it didnt sort the stalling.

So i bought a vag-com, it threw up 3 codes: the coolent temp sensor, engine speed sensor, and lambda sensor.

I replaced the engine speed and coolant temp sensors and left the lambda to see if it was the other 2 sensors causing that one to give the fault code, the car ran ok for 2 days then back to her idleing and stalling probs.

The vag-com is now throwing the coolant temp sensor fault again, and lambda sensor fault, lambda doesnt come up every time after i reset the fault codes so ive asumed that one isnt the problem, ive now replaced the coolant temp sensor twice, but imediatly got that fault come up again on the vag com!

my engine is getting rather rattley, could it be on the way out?

has anyone got any ideas as to around what price id be looking at for a rebuild or exchange?

any help or suggestions would be greatfuly appreciated, as i havent got the spare cash to take it to stealth for them to look at for a few more weeks.

It may be that the ISV needs replacing and not just cleaning mate. did you take it off and what did you use to clean it? cuz it sounds like that to me...

i had this and it was the maf that was at fault vag com didnt show any faults for it,it was blaming the lambada for the stalls.Changed the maf and there were no fault codes at all and stopped the stalling.
