Hello all, ( this is my first post!!)

The car in question is a 2003 A4 FSI, 2 litre petrol, manual.

The idle speed quite frequently sticks at 1000 to 1100 rpm, give it a stab of trottle and it usually always then comes back down to about 800rpm. Sometimes when it is idleing at 1100rpm it will settle back down to 800rpm by itself after 10 TO 15 seconds or so, any ideas on how to stop this jigh idle speed?:confused:

I was hoping it would be something i could clean with contact cleaner etc.

Thanks

Jay

Is there a fix for the MAF that can be done at home, i know on some cars electrical contact cleaner sometimes helps, does anyone jnow if this would work?
