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?

You shouldn't need to pump the accelerator at all on an electronically fuel-injected car.
As Gavin suggested, the throttle body make require an adaptation, or "re-learn".
Also, the throttle body may be dirty and carbon'd up.

Thanks. How do I get the throttle body to re-learn?
And if it is dirty and carboned up, how do I clean it?

A VW dealer will be able to carry out a re-learn for you. After it's been cleaned, of course.

Thanks, so there's no way I could've done it myself huh.
I'll bring it to them later then. Again, thanks

So I rang few Volkswagen service centers around Melbourne East, no luck.
They are all fully booked out until end of January. :|
Anyone in Melbourne's Eastern suburb with VAG-COM willing to help me out? Message me. Please. :|
