engine not always idling correctly

[adw555]

So, 5 times in the last 3 days I've come to a stop at traffic lights/junction and the revs haven't dropped back to the normal 900 rpm..they drop to about 1100/1200....only happens occassionally and if I move off, then it's fine at the next junction..

Car has only done 200 miles...and it's the 2.0 TSI

Anyone had any similair issues ? ...really don't want to have to go back to the stealer, but I guess there's no option

has that happened when the engine is cold or warm

[adw555]

both, first time the car had only been running a couple of minutes and the other 5-6 times it's been warm and been running for at least 20 miles.

Just pop it into dealer mate its prob just a faulty sensor

ya when my car is cold it does rev like that but not for 2 long but i would not b worried about it yet but if it keeps goin like that take it 2 the dealer and get them 2 hook it up ta the computer and check for faults

I am having the exact same problem. I seem to be happeining when im driving on high speeds or high revs, Then when I slow down on and stop on a traffic light the rev pointer remains higher than usuall, but after about 20 - 30 second the rev pointer drops to it normal position.

If anybody knows about this , pls can tell me if this is normal or is there somthing wrong?

You'd expect an engine to idle a bit faster when cold - so that could be normal.
With some turbos you need to let the car idle for a while after hard driving before turning the engine off - allows the turbo to spin a bit longer and cool themselves down. Maybe the faster idling when hot after some hard driving is something similar to protect the turbos.
Just a guess.

This issue is starting to really annoy me. The stealer hooks it up to vagcom but it reports all is well. They say all they can do is hook a laptop up to it and have some loon from the workshop drive it about for a week...yea right!...I'd rather just sell it ..owned it for 3 weeks and now sick of the sight of it

Sounds normal to me, your only talking 100 to 200 revs difference, this could be due to temperature, both engine and external or simply engine load. I would be worried if its idle speed was constantly changing, but otherwise not.
