stuck my finger over were the screw should be and idle went back up to normal, so i decided to try and bung it with a similar bolt loosly untill i get the correct screw, plus i checked the other side and that 1 is fully tightened anyway,
now it feels like it did before i had this problem, back to normal, so i dont really think this screw does alot to be honest,
van is running great, i can now do 75mph easily all day long aswell wich is much better than when i first got the van (55mph tops)

Re: engine hesitating, not idleing properly cutting out at the l
Just remember that running the incorrect mixture can be catastrophic for an engine. If the mixture is incorrect it can make the engine overheat. Many years ago I re-built a 250cc two-stroke engine for a motorbike. In the search for more power I re-jetted the carb and fitted hi-flow air filters. The engine ran perfectly and the bike would pull over 100mph which was quite a bit faster than it had when it left the factory. After a few short test runs I took it out for a blast into the country side. After 20-30 miles it lost power so I coasted it to a stop. On inspection the crown of one piston had melted and had a hole right through it. That was an air-cooled engine with no temperature gauge, but at least it was a lot cheaper to fix than a VW one would be.
