I had the same problem with a manual. The revs would jump about at the lights dipping down to 500rpm and up to 1500rpm and occaisioanally stalling. I only got it fixed last week. An auto electrician fixed it for $400. Not too sure what was wrong as I got my dad to take it in for me, and I haven't seen him to pick up what the guy wrote down the problem is. Only thing is now the trip computer doesn't work.
Hello too btw, first post and all, been a bit of a lurker. I got a 92 GTI 8v, 4 door.
Check the vacuum hose behind the speedo.

It moght be a good idea to check the vacume T-peice that sits just behind & to the left of the inlet manifold & any other vacume lead that you can find.
My car has had problems similar to this & has been fixed easily when the lead is put back on, this can also play havic with MAF.
So does your MAF give accurate readings, one day I was getting bizzare readings for my feul econemy & it was because one of the vacume leads was detached.
So it really does sound like a fuel or electric problem & not transmision

Hello, Thanks for the Vacume piece advice, I will check it out. The display shows that I have done 2705kms (this does not change), and a trip time of 63:55 and climbing each time I start (No reset). Fuel consumption is stuck on 8L.
It turns out that that $400 figure was for getting the central locking, windcreen wiper switch and system EC fixed. The rev problem was fixed in the 10,000 km service which only cost me $160.
As for location, I am in Sydney in the lower north shore. I see a couple of mk2's around here, do any belong to forum members?
