I went through much of this over the winter this year trying to get the AAR freed up, some of you may recall. I suspect that my AAR got stuck many years ago, and someone's fix was to just keep playing with the idle adjustment screw until it idled properly. I managed to get the rotary valve in the AAR moving a little bit this winter, but it's still not good enough to give a good cold idle and warm idle. I've seen on some Porsche 914 forums (it uses a nearly identical AAR) that people have been able to successfully unroll the top of the AAR can and free up the rotary shaft. I've PB Blasted and cycled my AAR, but it just doesn't have the range of motion it should have. I'm looking to do this myself at this point since nothing else is working. Does anyone have an extra electric AAR in case I botch this? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
