Remove the valve and clean it out by spraying in some carb or brake cleaner and look for any black glupy old oil.
You might need to remove some pipes attached to the valve when getting it off the engine if you can't get to the hose clamps.
Valve looks like this.

Hi all, I have a 1991, cabriolet 1.8 gti and seem to have a problem with the car running at 2000 rpm at idle most of times when warmed up. Sometimes it will run at 1500 rpm, or if I park it up for 5 mins or more and come back to it, it will run at 1000 rpm just about right and will run at this until I put it away for the day. I have tried to check for air leaks in pipes but cant find any. Any help or info is much appreciated and thanks again.
What type of fueling do you have, Carb, or Digifant (EFI).
as that determines what I would suspect the issue is.
Automatic or Manual transmission as well?
What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?
They all start with GOOD Grounds.

The revs will dip down when you spray on a hose that's sucking in air, from here you can find your vacuum leak.
Unless the AAV has gone it's going to a vaccum leak, mine did it for ages until I found the right one
