Hello, I am robs i am a newbie to the forum... i own a a3 2.ot manual... i purchased my car no more then a month ago... i must say its been the best purchase i done so far.. i have had no problems wif my car until today.. i started my car this mourning....but my idle jumped to 1000 rpm and stayed ther for about a minute.. a couple of secounds later is dropped down to a line under the 1000 rpm mark... but it wont drop down to zero not even in neutral... anybody have any advie... i setup to take my car in but their booked until the 6th of Feb.. and one more question does everyone have that clicking sound to ur engine... i have had it since day one... thank u

 

I have the clicking noise... or actually had. its the fuel line thats basicallycausing the noise. You can either take it to the dealer to fix it OR put some foam insulation down the fuel line area.

Took a peek at your profile and saw your on Socal. Be sure to come to our GTG this weekedn on sunday.

 

If your rpm dropped down to zero, the engine would be off. ???

It pops up around 1000rpms in the morning with the choke on until the engine warms up then idles somewhere around 600-700rpms in neutral. Your car is working fine, just relax and enjoy it.

Don't get jealous when you can't keep up with theguy with a 2.0T engine, it's a mod thang. LOL

Cheers!

 

thanx alot chef...i was really hoping to get a response from u and stryker.... i shall enjoi the car ...

See the post below this one.. or on the first page of the A3 section.

Be sure to put all your money into a CD or money market before your come. Cause were going to make you spend $$$

 

Yes i'm starting to get the clicking noise, and the rattle coming from the glove compartment. Man i wish i lived in the O.C. area so i can hook up with all you cool dudes at the gtg. I was just in San Diego and loved the area Coranado and that Marriot marina area are off the Chain. Enjoy your ride Orange bang whenever you get a little bored throw in a mod here and there and keep us updated. [X(]

 

It doesnt sound like theres anything wrong with your car. my cars the manual also and itdoes the same thing in the mornings when the engine is stil cold. rpm goes above 1000 then drops to a couple clicks below.
