Engine & Gearbox / Re: High rpm when cold for 20 minutes,...?
Last post by philip -
Hi, may be i didn't explain correcty too lol. So when stone cold, start the car, rpm goes to 1100 ( auto choke i guess,.. ), i start driving and after 1 minute, the rpm goes to +- 1400. After driving for about 15 minutes when the temp is in middle and car hot enaugh, it starts to slowly drop back to normal idle within +- 5 min. To answer your question, yes, at that point if i turn off the car and resart it immedialty it idles perfect at 900 rpm and for the rest of the day until stone cold again,... And yes it should be warm enaugh long before all this,...I am going today to do another test as i might have a theory, not sure. I will drive the car for a few miles, it will idle at +- 1400 still, park, turn it off for 20 minutes and see if it goes back to 1400 rpm immediatly or if it will idle fine. I will let you know,...thank you.

Hi I obviously did not word that too well what i meant was as soon as the engine is warm enough not to need the choke if you stop the engine and restart does it run normally. The engine should be up to temp long before 20 mins.

Hi everyone, I just joined the forum after recently getting more interested in the Golf Mk2.
I really like its simple yet very characterful design. I’m currently learning more about maintenance and different engine setups. Looking forward to learning from the community
