New 205 Really High Idle?

[David1982 11 1 Cars]

Just picked up a 205 Gti 1.9 and all running fine. Timing is bang on but the idle is very high!!! Any ideas?

A search on here would be the way ahead, look at this as a start.

As said, start with an air leak, they can cause havoc. I think some people set the idle high to mask issues when you're buying - it happened to me.

Air leak- check the bolt that holds the filler neck on. Its attached to the inlet manifold. Mine was loose - car was idling at 2000rpm....

 

Other than that all the breather hoses - especially around the clips and at bends like on the one that comes off the top of the oil filler

 

 

good luck
