Any MR's having idling issues
I did a search of idling issues and I noticed that the GSR's had some earlier problems but that was fixed by a reflash. Well I just bought my MR tonight and noticed after I left the dealership the car wasn't idling well. It almost stalled out a couple of times and it went down below 500 rpms several times and the idle was very sporadic. I guess I will be calling the dealership in the morning. My question is am I the only MR having this issue? Also did the reflash fix the idling issue on the GSR? Thanks

Could this be something other than needing a reflash? Possibly some piping that may have become loose? I know it sounds crazy but I had my wife drive the car down the drive at about 35mph very moderately I will add (very early break in) and as she takes her foot off I swear hear the recirculating valve blow off my wife heard it as well. I'm totally stock so could I really be hearing this??? Also the idle seems to be even more eractic than earlier. I know I'm just grasping at straws now but I just trying to understand what going on.
Also I just found out the headlights are going to have to be realligned.
It seems my car is a little crosseyed.

No idle problems with mine, a good tuner can fix that easily. There are many things that may cause it, the DV could be loose, maf not fully plugged in, lose clamps/pipes, vaccum lines as mentuioned before. Check everything over thats the first step.

haha, if you had owned a DSM prior to this you would have had this problem fixed in the first 10 min.
Nothing taught me more about trouble shooting a turbocharged internal combustion engine more than my 93 TSI
