I don't understand what the question is?

When I'm at stand still the car revs above 1000rpm by its self when it should be 700/800.

That's a statement. No one on here can verify that without seeing the car.

Now, J400Uk's post still stands: What's your question?

No probs I'll book it into vw for them to look at it.

If you start it from cold what does it idle at?

Williams · « **Reply #6 on:** August 01, 2014, 07:44:48 pm »

700rpm.

Frenzy · « **Reply #7 on:** August 01, 2014, 07:46:53 pm »

So under what conditions does it start to idle at 1k rpm?

Williams · « **Reply #8 on:** August 01, 2014, 07:50:20 pm »

When its hot and been stuck in traffic for 20 mins.

Why didn't you label this thread something like "GTI high idle" that would help attract people that have had the same problem. . .
