Default Error Code 2231 - Anyone aware of common cause?

The bible says:

2231
VAG1551/2 Code Number 00533
Idle Speed Control,
Idle speed adaptation limit exceeded, Sticky ISV, air leak.

... but no obvious air leak or faulty ISV!<ul><li><a href="http://www.unicomsystems.co.uk">http://www.unicomsystems.co.uk</a</li></ul>

Default Try removing the ISV and cleaning her up..they can stick sometimes and also cause stalling

Try cleaning/soaking in Carb-Cleaner and lubing up w/ WD-40

Default Still getting the 2231 Code ......

Have now swapped out the ISV with a 'known to be good' unit.

The Check light comes on after, or during idle. There are no obvious symptoms other than the light itself! ..... [though @ 18'ish MPG around town I think maybe the mileage is suffering?]

What next? .... I've got a 2.5K mile trans-European roadtrip starting tomorrow!
