I had a similar set of symptoms (hunting idle, etc.) on a '91 Jetta,
probably the same motor, it was the idle stabilizer, aka idle control
valve.  Replaced it (not cheap, $200 or maybe a little more) and
everything worked as before.


I like that 1.8l 8V, it's non-interference and was very reliable for me.
