zeglover Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 I had the mk1 1.8 that used to idle at about the same lights used to brighten wen reved a little. but never stalled though when I put lights or heated screen on the revs dropped but then climbed back up I never had an issue. I cannot think of any car which I have driven idled anywhere near 1000 rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoney871 Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 800-850 is normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChimejczukNW Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 ok so this sounds normal. thanks guys appreciate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 the fact that the car almost stalls isnt normal though, it would suggest perhaps the alternator has issues putting out the right voltage, but you should be able to turn on almost every electrical appliance and the car should be able to run still.
