My passat just started to idle high in nuetral while at red lights, 5 speed lots of recent work, but check engine light has been on forever but until this the car has been running great. Waiting to hear from mechanic, I don't know what part he is looking at but brand new costs 675. 00 any ideas.

What makes you question your Mechanics findings / diagnosis? Have you been to his shop before?
