adaptation limit exceeded no one knows what it means so i didnt post it bcuz it scares ppl from replying suggestions...

im thinking of changing the rev on idle using vag-com i did it on my other audi ages ago cant rememz how, it was something with a range 125-136 or something that adjusts how high the needle is when its idling anyone know how to do that?

only thing that comes to mind is the throttle stop screw to raise or lower the idle, you seem to have a low idle problem and this could be the cure
