GTI Idle
« on: 03 February 2010, 10:45 »
Anyone with a GTI mk 6 ever find that when you come to a reasonably abrubt stop, the engine idle sits higher than normal?..between 1100 and 1400 sometimes..

DSG or manual?

If manual, was the clutch up when you stopped?  Otherwise idle = nil  :evil:

when i first turn over my mkv gti it sits a bit higher normally at around 1500 revs and then settles down to just below after around 10 mins of driving

Also it maybe you have the aircon on try it off as the pump can demand the revs higher for a short time.

it does it intermittently when both hot and cold. A quick blip of the throttle brings the idle back down to normal. Very annoying and can't seem to find a pattern to it. Have had this on two mk6 GTIs now..

Didn't someone on this forum eventually reject their car because of this issue?  If not it was something similar ...  VW couldn't find the fault despite much investigation  :rolleyes:

yip...first one was rejected as after 6months problem was still there and despite it logging errors about 'eratic idle' and the dealer changing the throttle body + other parts....the new car arrived this week and has done it once last night..pulled into the drive and car was idling at 1400 rpm..when fully warm. A quick blip of the throttle dropped the revs back down to normal....can't believe it!
