On the drive, red traffic lights etc...  :happy2:

I think it's around 850 RPM. A shade over 1k when cold.

Before my new Q version TB anywhere between 0.75k and 2.5k :signLOL:

It should be under 1k when warm as above, and over when warming up... iirc, you can change it in VCDS/VAS

Mines a 1.9 tdi, but around 800 or so, doesn't take long for it to drop down, when I start it cold it's at 1k but only for 30 seconds at the most
