Got Low Idle?
Dropped off my 8 at the dealership this morning to see if they can track down an issue i have been having. I have noticed lately that when the car is nice and warmed up, like after freeway driving, at idle it drops to like 750 or 800 rpm and sounds like crap.
It sort of rumbles like it is going to die like my old 77' VW Rabbit used to and i could swear that i can hear a metalic clanking noise. Anyone else have any trouble like this.
The dealership just called a minute ago and said they did some updates and put in some higher temp spark plugs and they think it is fixed. I am dubious.
