I have the problem with my "new" EA82T car, that the engine revolutions are between approx. 1,500 to 2000 rpm while the car is stationary. That is "a bit" too much.

What could be the cause of that? Does someone have an idea?

Try first the stationairy adjustment : looking from the front it is at the right side at the rear of the alu cover with turbo inscription.

 

Is it a L series ?

high idle valve stuck open....or improper idle adjustment.

Interestint. Where is this high idle valve? I will check this tomorrow.

Behind the throttle body assembly. It will have a small brass piece with a provision for adjustment via a flathead screwdriver. Turn it in(like you are tightening a screw) to lower the idle, and back it off(unscrew) to increase idle.

High idle valve is on top of the t-stat housing...has a plug with two wires going to it.

DOH!!! I was thinkin' about the idle adjustment screw. That is what I get for staying up for more than 24 hours.

wait... the buggy does this too... so how do you fix this high idle valve?
