Hi mate I had this problem and it was the rear o/s abs sensor supremely the most common abs sensor to go! 15 quid from eurocarparts! Worth try before you post out for a pump maybe?

HELP!! strange idle stalling problem
jonny english posted a topic in Engine Maintenance and Problems
hi guys! i have a problem that started today basically car was running beautifully since i changed the spark plugs yesterday! anyway the horn on my car doesnt work so i thought i would take the air bag panel off the steering wheel and see if i could find a dodgy connection. so i disconnected the battery took the steering wheel apart but couldnt see anything wrong so i put it all back together. started my car up an hour or so later and it initially reved to 1500rpm then dropped and stalled started it again and it did the same thing. i managed to hover the accelerator around 1000rpm and it sound -
Hi guys, This has probably been covered countless times but i was wondering if there is anyone in the chelmsford are or abouts that has vag com and could run a diagnostics on my VR6 as it has a few problems and the mot is fast approaching!! thanks alot jonny
