What you have is a throttle body. When opening the hood there is a plastic pipe (intake pipe)that connects to the trottle body by way of a compression clamp on the left side or passenger side. Remove the intake pipe and you'll have access to the throttle. There is also an electrical connection to the intake pipe. Get a can of spray "Sea Foam" (NAPA usually has it) and spray it into the opening and wipe out with a cloth till its clean. Also spray into the off pipe to clean a valve that's located at the bottom near the intake pipe.

Replaced the battery in a 2001 Volkswagen Cabrio... and now it won't idle! Sometimes it won't even start. Do I need to take it to the dealership or can this be fixed easily?
Start by turning the key to on, then pressing and holding the gas pedal to the floor. This should relearn the ecm. If not, clean the throttle body with some carb cleaner and a rag, then repeat the relearn process.

HOW TO REMOVE THE HEADLAMP ASSEMBLY ON A 2001
The front grill and bumper has to be removed to reveal the 2 lower screws holding each lamp assembly. Removal of the hood latch is simple, just don't over do when you spread the plastic link cause it would break sometime. Do not loose the pivot pin and the locking clip of the plastic link to the latch handle. The front grill needs to be poke with a flathead screw driver on top to release it. Hopes this helps cause it really is just simple common sense to figure out.

2001 vw cabrio automatic transmission
I'm dealing with the same car. I just had the transmission completely overhauled. Very$$$. The mechanic told me that it's common for cabrio's to develop this problem between 80,000 and 100,000 miles, mine happened around 95,000 miles. Knowing what I know now, I would have sold it.

Vw cabrio 1998
I recommend taking apart the intake and cleaning it thouroughly, including the vacuum hoses from the valve cover to the intake hose. I had a very similar problem and it cured mine wonderfully. It took me about 3 hours to dissasemble and clean everything with carb cleaner and re-install it all. For clarity, I took off everything from the airbox to the intake of the engine, including the large aluminum air duct that covers the top of the engine and exposes the spark plugs. Which is a great time to change plugs and wires by the way.

Good luck.
