Have you checked for a split pipe at all?
I'm pretty sure poor idling could be caused by a split pipe? Any more symptoms? Does it just idle rough or cut out completely? |

Mike, PM me and I'll send you the full wiring diagram.
Is the idle valve actually working? ie if you take the valve off and turn on the ignition, the valve should open slightly - don't start the car though! You could have a leak in air as Enigma666 suggests. As for the trac control - you can look at the wiring diagram - I don't have DSA so can't comment further! Cheers |

Out of interest, what makes you say that the traction control is not working?
Have yo got a solid DSA light on the dash? |

Evening all and many thanks for all the responses and help.
The engine cuts out completely now, it did just run rough for a while but does now cut. I've checked the pipes and cant see any splits. I bought a brand new idle control valve and changed it over, no change but when I disconnect the valve all together she purrs like a kitten, any suggestions? Sincerely appreciate all the help With the traction control, the DSA is on permanently and when I put on the power she spins up. |

Welcome to the forum...
Main Stealers aren't very forth coming...that's why we're here I believe the wiring loom under the radiator gives trouble due to trapped water and corrosion which takes place so the car has a tendancy to do all sorts of strange things. Have your auto electrician check it out for any traces of swelling, furing etc. Just another angle to come at it from T4's can break your heart and pocket especialy if you have a so called "Monday Morning Car"...

My loom was knackered which was causing my ABS light to stay on.
After having the ABS module re-built etc my mechanic eventually found 2 small shorts which were causing the issue. The loom is certainly a good place to start |

Rad needs to come out to get full access, it's a right pain as I found out when I tried it.... The damn thing runs through the wheel well too on the front left side...perhaps worth dropping the wheel off and removing the wheel arch guard yourself and checking for any splits there perhaps?
