Plug it in dude. Just cos there's no lights it will probably be logging a fault code.

Good luck  :happy2:

Does the idling issue resolve / change with aircon disengaged?

Is the rev counter moving up & down?

A split DV can do this, along with a busted PCV (although you have ruled this out)

Was going to say in my service history from vw it says customer complains of rough idle - PVC valve replaced.
