gregers Posted May 15, 2008 Report Posted May 15, 2008 my car idles at approx 950rpm is this the norm on a tdi?cheers in advance. Quote
insider Posted May 15, 2008 Report Posted May 15, 2008 The spec. is 900rpm. How did you measure it?Using VAG-COM is probably the most accurate way, the instrument panel gauge probably isn't! Quote
gregers Posted May 15, 2008 Author Report Posted May 15, 2008 thanx insider,no i was just going by the rev counter,what made me wonder i was reading a post and they said theres is 600 rpm thought mine was a bit high,but youve put my mind at ease saying its 900.cheers. Quote
insider Posted May 15, 2008 Report Posted May 15, 2008 It's 650-750rpm on the 2.8 petrol engine but the normal idle speed for most engines is 800-900rpm Quote
JohnR Posted May 15, 2008 Report Posted May 15, 2008 Isn't the tick-over faster with the air-con turned on? Seem to remember something about it somewhere. Quote
Lyle Waters Posted May 16, 2008 Report Posted May 16, 2008 Tickover is increased with the aircon on, lights, fan, radio, screen heaters, dvd, fridge.... All adds to the idle Quote
seatkid Posted May 16, 2008 Report Posted May 16, 2008 Mk 1 Tdi (manual gearbox) idle speed is 950 rpm. It is not affected or altered by a/c or other auxillaries. Quote
