Random Revving up to 2000 rpm?

Followers

27 December, 200718 yr

Hi,

I've got a W reg 1.8 20v turbo and every now and then it has difficulty starting when already warm, then after about five mins or so, when its idling it just starts revving up to 2000 for about 2 mins, quite scary as it feels like it gonna blow up! Any Ideas?:confused:

Totally different engine I know but might be the same problem - a golf gti I used to own suffered from this issue and it turned out to be a faulty Idle Stabilisation Valve.

Four wheel drive/AWD

Colin1051 · 5 hours ago5 hr

I confess that all 5 of my previous Kodiaqs were AWD but I only realised recently that AWD is actually a bit of a misnomer. Drive to the rear axle is only engaged when the road surface requires it - mud, very wet road surface etc. The Haldex unit controls this engagement. In normal road conditions the car is driven by the front wheels only thus saving fuel. I accept that I may be in the minority here so I'd love to hear from others who were similarly misguided.

Remote Key Not Detected

RogerBest · 4 October, 20196 yr

After a short trip to the local town this morning I noticed that the car would not lock when using the remote. I was not overly concerned as the shop I needed was about 10 feet from the car and I was going to be just a couple of minutes. On getting back into the car the remote was not detected which meant I could not start the car. After my immediate panic subsided I locked and unlocked the car using the remote and all was well again. Does this mean the remote battery does not have sufficient po

How do I save the settings?

keelbolt · Thursday at 20:411 day

Kodiaq 2026 PHEV I set the lane control to 'Off', set the alert control to 'off', and various other settings that I want. But when I next switch the car on, all my settings are lost and I have to re-set them. This is a complete pain in the ass. How do I save the settings so that they stay set?

1.5 Tsi Power Cutting Out

Missph · 16 February, 20242 yr

Evening, just looking to see if anyone is experiencing the same issue as me with my Karoq 1.5 Tsi (73 plate)…. So the car has perhaps half a dozen times or more cut out completely when slowing down, no stall / kangaroo or otherwise, power simply gone, resulting in me having to restart the car when in a rolling motion. Very unnerving especially with traffic approaching. I’ve tried to recreate the event on quiet roads with no success so I’ve no idea what action causes this. I had thought

Lego pushed between window and door

JamesK · 2 hours ago2 hr

Hello All, So my youngest son decided to push a small flat piece of Lego between the window and door. I can just about see it, but have no idea how to get it out. I’ve not operated the window as I think will drag the Lego inside the door. Any ideas or hacks on how I can remove it without taking the trim off the door? Many thanks!
