I own a Passat 1998 (manual), and I have a few questions I hope someone can shed a light on. I have just taken this car for service.
1. I noticed that starting the car isn't quite as smooth as usual. When I put the key into the ignition, usually I can start it with one go without having to pump the accelerator. I have had the battery replaced (RACV) yesterday, and it seems to be OK, except that it sounds like the engine almost dies when I start it (the engine rev goes up and down quite frantically)
2. What's the ideal idle rev speed? Mine is steady at around 9000rpms, I think it was slightly higher before.
3. During low speed - low rev condition, for example when I am parking the car or getting the car out of the garage, I find myself having to pump the accelerator more than I usually have to. Otherwise, the revs drop and the engine dies. What happens?
