Ecu Reset?

[darth_vader_helmet]

Hi guys, I believe that my delayed idling when coming to a stop in the car my be down to the ecu need resetting. Is this a specialised job, as in can any garage do it, or can only certain places help?

Just remove the battery negative for about 30 mins mate, that will reset the ECU.

Good call mate

I think my mate may have meant that ecu needed adjusting, does that sound right do you think (taking into account my problem)...?

Yoe need to get vag-com on it I think mate. Maybe raise the idle speed a tad..

Thats the issue the idle speed runs too high when slowing the car down (as if my foot is still on accelerator), but then return to normal 800 rpm when actually stopped reading 0 mph. For example, If I was on a hill and at a stop, if I released the hand brake or brake pedal and let the car roll, then the rpm would raise to 1200 rpm

Any ideas mate?

Or,.. will anyone have a vag-com?
