K-Jet Conversion

> Yikes sounds like a real PITA versus getting a new idle valve. I had similar problems on my 5000 (100) and I removed the idle
valve and cleaned it with carb cleaner (took all of 15 minutes).

I'd already tried this, and other methods mentioned in the archives. Engine died, for example,
when ISV disconnected, further confusing the issue. Parts were 30ukp and job took half a
day to do (worst bit was dreaded allen bolt removal on plenum). Small price to pay for being
in control, IMO.

> The RPMS jumped up to 2000 RPM on starting to warm up the catalytic converter and exhaust manifold as soon as possible. Most all
of the US audis that I've driven have done that.

I don't have a cat! Early type 89 coupe did not get one until late 1989 (mine's January) so
it seems a bit pointless (and annoying).
