    My early 8v GTI has a tenadnce to stall when manovering it slowly, such as when parking of putting it back in the garage. It also suffers from an uneven idle, which after time settles down and is perfcet, but if you rev it it will either stall or the idle goes up and down eventually settling back down to perfect. What should I be looking at?

    id start with the AAV behind the throttle area, and also check it over everywhere for vac leaks. look in all the folds of the inlet boot
