Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

The good news was that the car ran so well after it took the sting out of the cost.

Get it checked, could also be the Idle Control Valve and that's an easy peacy fix.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Wondering if anyone can help on this one - The tickover in my carrera 2 has become quite lumpy when it is at running temperature and was wondering what the diagnosis is - Could it be a coil pack/ plug issue ? Could it be a variocam solonoid issue? The car seems to run fine but at traffic lights/ in idle it seems a bit lumpy I know that coil packs are not big money but can anyone enlighten me on costs of a variocam solonoid replacement ? Any replies greatfully received Angus

POST 3Original post

Does sound like the problem I had with the variocam solenoid. From memory it was about £1500 inc vat which did hurt at the time. The good news was that the car ran so well after it took the sting out of the cost. If you click on my user name MJ28127 on the left it will take you to my post on lumpy idle. Good luck Matt
