ive noticed for like the past week, my car has been idling low.
maybe im being paranoid....i d k. maybe it has to do with my oil leak??
when i start her up, it goes up... then down to like one notch below 1000rpms,
is that normal??
damn, i need to get my car checked out!!!!
cause thatt oil leak isnt the only problem i have right now.
anyone ever have this happen to them???

 

if you are just idleing im pretty sure thats fine, i idle at about 800 to 900 rpm

 

I idle at about 6-700 rpm

 

What year is the car? You need to make a signature on your profile page that includes your year, drivetrain, engine, transmission, etc (ie, 99 2.8qm for a quattro manual of that year and engine). It helps in this case. If your car is a 30v (98 or newer), you have a secondary air pump. When you cold start the car the pump is on and your RPM are around 1200, and when the pump kicks off, the revs drop. If you have a 30v, then your car's behavior is normal.

Knowing the car's information can also help in diagnosing your oil leak if you want to do that.

 

oooh alright.
it was just making me worry a lil, cause a few times it sounded like it was gonna shut off. as if i was running outta gas.



oh and its a 01 2.8 auto/tip.

 

dont most cars idle below 1000rpm? its normal

 

my car idles at about the same 6-700
depending on whether the bass hits hard or not
it varies but no worries most of our cars idle in that area

 

alrighht good...thanks for the help!


anyone know if its hard to replace axels????


and how much it might run me doing it on my own or just going to a place?

 

That doesn't sound too bad if it's around 1000 rpm.
I have a 97 2.8 12V and i idle around 5-700 on a typical day.
At a cold start it might be around 800-1000 for the first 10 minutes.
