i dont think thats such a good idea, but then again im running out of options, im about to take it to the stealership... and does seafoam clean the throttle body??

dont take it to the dealership, just take it to a mechanic near by. they well find the problem and for 1/2 the price.

Have you tried cleaning your idle control valve? There's a diy somewhere in here.

ok, i took it to vw so the cost wouldn't be as bad, but i still got raped.. i think, anyhow they charged me $163 to do a Throttlebody service and that pretty much did it, except for that the car still fails a little and dies sometimes, what now? im taking the car back tomorrow morning...
