Idle speed

[spyke85]

PD130 1.9TDi, what should the idle speed be?

 

[mrk]

0 mph lol

do you mean revs?

 

[spyke85]

As in what revs should the car idle at...

 

[basstard]

900?

 

[RichieRich]

abouts that.. well mine is below the 10 (x 100) mark lol

 

[basstard]

you can also check it via vag com,,,

 

[muddyboots]

You can also alter it via vag com

 

[basstard]

why would you?

[to save on diesel even at idle you tight arse?! ]

My Ibiza used to shake a bit when idling, but stopped with the slightest touch of the accelerator pedal - so I tried increasing the idle speed slightly to see if it would fix it.

According to vag com the idle speed is 903rpm.

 

[basstard]

the same as on the 110,,,

mine has exactly the same problem! not taking it to seat though, I know they'll do me for a set of injectors.

 

[basstard]

Someone said it's indeed an injector problem,,, this was especially on the first 130's,,,

A slight vibration is normal. These vw diesel engines are not very refined and are rough. The vibrations will be amplified alot more in the beezer due to been a smaller car etc.

 

[basstard]

I guess they're talking of something else. I saw 130's with an open bonnet, standing at idle normally and suddenly the engine started to vibrate quite a bit more than normal,,,

Mine does exactly that.... just a very rough idle. Unless you got knackered mounts or something more sinister.
