Hi guys, I'm new to the audi-sport.net forums community although I have been rolling my A3 8L for a couple of years.
Lately the car ('98 A3 8L 1.8T stock) has some serious idle revs issue which drive me crazy since I cannot find a solution.![Big Grin :D :D](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
The idle revs are unstable, drop down to 500 only at lower speeds, especially when I put to neutral at 50 km/h and below. Until the full stop the revs keep dropping up and down (500-1100), after that they are pretty much stable and OK (around 820-840). At higher speeds there is no such thing. Did some tests yesterday, accelerated up to 100 km/h and above and put to neutral. Then the revs are OK until speed is around 50 km/h.
The throttle body has been replaced with a VDO OEM one last year, no issues with adaptations or any fault codes. Several months ago replaced the DV with the 710N, seems to be working OK. Did several checks for boost leaks, did not find any. The MAF was tested, got 120 g/s and there were not any faults according to VAG COM.
Any help or advice would be appreciated.
Cheers.
