Hi,
I’ve got a TDi 75 and the past couple of days when I’ve had a warm or slightly warm engine the revs have been a bit erratic when I start the car.
The revs jump immediately to 1500 - 2000 revs blip twice and then settle down to a steady normal tick over. It’s like I’m giving it a couple of blips with the throttle. (I’m not )
I though it was a one off, but it’s happened three times now but didn’t happen this morning when the engine was started from cold.
The other thing I noticed on the way home from work was my temperature didn’t leave the 60 degree minimum on the gauge. On this journey it’s always at 90.
There was warm air through the vents etc and it appeared to heat up as normal and take the same amount of time. It was showing an outside temp of 8 degrees and for info I don’t have a webasto heater.
I’m thinking the temperature sensor and would just like some thoughts if this would cause the erratic revs on starting. Am I on the right lines.
Thanks.
