Cheers guys, i'm pricing up some engine mounts from german auto parts as we speak! Will definitely check the plugs and leads though

cant rule out the air mass sensor either. mine had been doing the same thing.

new sensor now and it runs like a dream

check the coilpck. look at night and see if you can see a light display.

How do you check something like this...computer? I had weird idling problems every now and then about three months ago after I put in a pod

You can run a scan to see what errors the car has been/is throwing up. There are a few of us round the shop with a VAG-COM and a cable or one of those hand held jobbies. If your ever out my way I can scan for you

you can also do a test on the sensor with a voltmeter. it written up in the Bently's MK3 Golf Jetta manual.

Mine has been randomly idleing low, and stalling, then when i restart, and rev the tits off it, its fine.

[Mrk_Mickey]

Ye that was same with mine. Only happened once in a while though

sounds like a hall/crank angle sensor to me... I.e 600+ to fix ...
