Default Throttle Body Humming?!

Car: 98 A4 1.8T manual.

Is it normal for the throttle body to hum when the key is turned to the ON position? This humming is pretty loud and lasts for about 20 seconds. Sounds kinda like a solenoid.

Maybe it has to do with your idle. I didn't have the humming noise, but when I had to replace my idle I also replaced the throttle body. Is it cold where you live?

Hes talking about ON as in Accessory position without engine started. But Id love to know how you replaced your idle in your car???

Also check your TPS..maybe your throttle body just needs to be cleaned.
