Conrad- I recently had the same trouble arise where my idle would go up to about 2000rpm when the A/C compressor was on. There was one other person who wrote me saying they had the same problem, but nobody had figured out an actual fix. I just disconnected the wire like you did. I find my idle drops to about 900 when the compressor is on now- it normally is about 950, so not much change. Perhaps you could increase your idle slightly to compensate until you figure out exactly what's wrong. I've been thinking that the idle stabilizer control unit may be the problem, but haven't gotten around to looking at it yet. I'll post a solution if I come across one Mark '89 Wolfsburg
