hmm, more fed up than paranoid...two brand new GTIs from the same dealer with the same issue...I could accept it if others were noticing it, but it's the fact that the first one logged faults with 'erattic idle' that shows it's not normal...maybe be time to get well rid and go and buy something different.

my car does this, has done it from day one, and solution is exact in that when I blip the throttle it goes away. hot cold, after a long drive, during a drive, any given moment basically.

remap?

thanks Craig...wow...so I'm not the only one then!! The first mk 6 (that I rejected) did it a lot and did log lots of errors about it. It would also rev itself sometimes to over 2K rpm. The new white one does it occasionally but never as bad as the first one...so I can live with it.

Just surprised not more people complain about it.

Hope I'm not tempting fate but mine never does that, always sits at 800rpm.

By the way, [off topic I know] have you had any tugs from the boys in blue regarding the spacing of letters/numbers on your plate?
