urq idle problem solved

[ejfluhr@austin.ibm.com (Fluhr)]

I have solved my urq idle problem....well, diagnosed it at least.  I still
have to do some work to solve it.

The problem is due to a leak in the valve cover/engine area.  If I
pinch off the vacuum hose at the connection to the valve cover, the
car idles and runs beautifully.  If I let it open, the car runs
extremely lean at idle.  The vacuum hose is not split, so the
problem must be with some gaskets or seals.  For now I have pinched
the hose closed with a tie-wrap so the car runs.

The first thing I plan on replacing is the valve cover gasket and
camshaft oil seal.  Has anyone used a rubber gasket on their urquattro?
Where did you get it and how much did it cost?

Later,
