Title: VR6 on start up
Post by: SW VR6 on 01 October 2004, 19:05

Not a massive problem, but my '97 VR6 has recently started to idle a little high (1100-1200rpm) when I start up on a cold engine.? Never used to do this.? Feels like the car is pulling away from me as leave my driveway...

Only seems to last for about a minute and then sits down nicely at 900 rpm.

I know there are plenty of threads about erratic idling with the Mk III, but I can't find one for this specific quirk....

Anyone else experienced this?

It's pretty much the same engine I have in my corrado. I have never experienced it myself, but have a quick look on the corrado forums too. Some there may have experienced this.

Mine Idles nice and smooth at about 500rpm, not even a murmur from the engine.  Sometimes i need to look at the rev counter to see its running.  lol.  I'll keep an eye on mine for the erratic idle problem though.  Thanks!!

check for vacuum leaks around all hoses.
