Default Appropriate RPM at idle

Can anyone tell me what would be the appropriate idle RPMs for an A3 2.0 w/DSG?

On a cold morning, 1st start, mine idles just above 1k for a short while, then drops to a little under 1k. This also happens in the eve after work if the car has been sitting all day. Otherwise, from recollection, it seems to idle between 800-900rpm. Don't know if DSG idles diff than the 6MT though

I'm at about 1100 normally. I think it's a little high; engine is loud on idle. But I have no frame of reference being this is my first Audi. I am heading in to the dealer right after work. Anyway, thanks.
