Hi, I have a K plate 92 2.8VR6 mk3 golf ( ODB1 )

Last night I fitted a bonrath power rohr pipe to replace the pipe between the MAF sensor and the throttle body, as my plastic one was cracked. and also a new induction kit. The car already had an induction kit on its just a newer one, other one was looking a bit old.

When I started the car up, the idle was very irrectic, going up and down all the time, I have cleaned out the idle valve before and it was fine but it has now stopped clicking. MAF is Fine, Oil filter is not an oiled one, and all plugs & conections etc back on properly.

was looking at the car for ages then, one mate said they had seen this problem with an Audi 100 ( early ones have same idle valve) just to clamp the hose between the idle valve and the bonrath pipe. So I actually blanked off boths ends of the pipes and the can is now running fine...

Only thing I am worried about is an I doing any damage driving it like this?? Its only temp till I get a new idle valve..

Cheers
