Hunting Revs at idle; Cupra 280

Benjiman · Jan 9, 2016

Went out for a good long drive today, and noticed an oddity:
When pulling up at lights, with foot firmly on brake pedal & auto stop off, the revs would climb to about 2k, then fall back & repeat. It would do it 9 times out of 10 stops, and nothing I could do from the driving seat seemed to stop it.

Any ideas, or is a trip to the stealers inevitable?

I'm sure I've read about this on the forum a while back. I cant remember the root cause but a search of the forum should throw up something.

I get this too when car crawls it goes up to like 2 then goes down then back up. Does anyone know what the problem is?

There is definitely a thread on this. Who ever it was took it back to the dealer and got it sorted.

Possibly a software update but I can't be 100% sure.

Long story short, issue solved by dealer.

Nice - thanks guys.
I had a quick search but to no avail.
Guess this will be warranty claim #5 then!

The revs would rise when coming to a dead stop i.e. foot on the brake DSG in first. Revs would hunt to around 2k.

What did the dealer say it was in end??

I get exactly the same in my manual FR 150 ACT. Most obvious in stop-start traffic - engage clutch to get the car moving at low speed then drop the clutch to slow down or roll at low speed. Revs jump to 2000rpm (independent of throttle position) and if that happens just as you re-engage the clutch life becomes very interesting for a moment!

As it turns out, it seems I seem to have lost my oil filler cap! A wonderful mess to clean up after 50 miles of driving without it.. I'm sure I tightened it properly after topping up with oil on Friday.

New one ordered - will see if that fixes the issue.

Oil cap missing as per previous post. Replaced it and problem went away.
