stockers 1 Posted November 28, 2005 Report Share Posted November 28, 2005 hi all, my idle is a bit high i think, idle at 900-950 rpm it starts at 1100 then drops to 900-950. also it will drive itself, in second gear if i take my foot off the accelerator peddle the car will continue to drive at the same speed!is it just cos the weather is cold at the moment?? :| Link to post Share on other sites

Nerih 0 Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 720RPM on mine, if its obd1 do the ISV...tbh easiest thing to be do is to stick it on vagcom, if the tbody's dirty it'll have high adaptation values...also it could identify other issues.also items like the aircon, headlights, rear windscreen demister all use up power and increase revs. Link to post Share on other sites
silverline 0 Posted November 29, 2005 Report Share Posted November 29, 2005 its been on VAG COM and came out with nothing apart from the buterfly in the throttle body is 10 degrees too far open and they say its because of carbon build up so i will take it off and clean it all up and see what happens.
