What should a 2.0tdi idle speed be?

[Gates]

Hi all, I was just wondering what the idle speed should be on a 2.0tdi 170 as mine seems to be idling at around 950rpm since we had the new engine fitted just before Xmas. Is there something I should check over or is it normal? I know it's been a while but I work away and don't really get chance to drive it much so haven't really noticed it until lately, also seen as our old engine was fubar and had been rough for a while I can't for the life of me remember what it idled at when it was ok.

Thanks everyone

My 140 idles at a 900-950rpm and has done for the four years I have owned it.
