Diesel Idle

[SnowMotion]

I have just purchased a VW Transporter Crew Van 4motion with the 132kw diesel motor.

Can anyone tell me what that idle speed should be for a diesel motor like this?

It is currently idling around 900rpm which seems way too fast to me but not sure as it is my first diesel.

Cheers

It's 760 ± 100 rpm

actually it seems to change. this engine seems to have a roll on idle of about 1000rpm that will then drop when actually stop rolling. I guess its to help save the clutch in traffic. it will also idle higher from time to time which i assume is DPF stuff

It will also idle 100rpm higher with Ac on .

When we refer to the idle speed, we mean; car stationery, all accessories off incl. A/C and engine fan too, in neutral or park for auto, engine at operating temperature. Then let the engine rpm stabilised before you take the reading.

Thanks for the replies.. I will have to have a look at using a an OBDII reader on it to see what else I can find out.
I have been using a Greddy Informeter on my Nissan I just sold.
Any suggestions for use on the VW?

You could get VCDS from ross-tech

I use a Mac and I don't think the software is compatible with Mac's so will have to see what else I can find out.
A mate has this cable so I can get him to look at the car from time to time.
As I Failed when ordering and did not option the MFD display and from all I can work out I can not build it in now for a reasonable cost so want something that will display fuel usage and other bits and pieces
