Title: High revs when starting car
Post by: R444WRR on April 24, 2012, 06:55:12 am

Hello

I've recently noticed that when I turn my car on for the first time since its been standing for a while it will idle above 1k for 2 minutes, it will then suddenly drop at go below 1k. The only reason I ask is because it is very loud for the first minutes, the sound is almost like my exhaust is blowing...

Any thoughts?

Perfectly normal, it's the Auto Choke  :smiley:

The exhaust quietens down when the revs settle.

Well that's good to know, thanks!

I guess it's more obvious since fitting 3" decat

I noticed mines revving a little higher than normal (on cold starts) after fitting the TWINtake CAI..dies down after 30 seconds or so  :happy2:

Most, if not all cars will do this - perfectly normal - and probably more noticeable with mods fitted :happy2:

Also more noticeable with air-con on. It will rev 100 rpm higher.

.
Does it 99 times out of 100 on mine and I always wait for the revs to settle down below 1,000 before engaging reverse from my garage. It avoids any clunks on the DSG.
