Title: Reving when idle
Post by: Brianmk5 on January 15, 2016, 08:44:22 pm

My manual GTI has start reving itself when sitting idle, for example at traffic lights. Goes from aboub 10000 rpm to 15000 then back down. Anyone else hav this problem. If so is it easily fixed or pricey. Thanks

Sounds like a bad PCV. It's an easy fix and quite cheap.
