306 post service erratic idle

Feb 24, 2005 2 Replies

Hi,



I have had a search through the group for messages about my problem, but couldn't find anything which seemed to answer my question, so thought I would ask!



I have 97 306 meridian 1.6 petrol, it recently (two weeks ago) went in for the 72000 service which seemed ok, and a year ago I had a new timing belt. Since the service I have been having problems with the idle speed when the engine is cold. The car starts fine, drives as normal, but when I put the clutch in to change gear the revs drop dangerously low, to around 500 then cycle between 500 and 1000.



This stops happening when I have been driving for 10-15 minutes.



I am due to take the car into the garage on monday to have it looked at and would appreciate any pointers on what anyone thinks it might be. I have a basic knowledge of cars, but not enough to tell whether I am being shafted.



Thanks for your time!

Thanks,

At least I now have an idea of what they may be talking about. Any idea about the time they should take to replace this?
