Default Hunting idle??

My local dealer has just replaced the rings due to high oil consumption. And now the car is experiencing a minor problem.

Withen 20 seconds from a cold start-up the rpm's surge within a 200-300rpm range.

The dealer said to give the computer time to learn. Well, 300 miles later and it's still at it.

Any idea's before going back to them. I was thinking a vacume??

TIA.

Scott. 00 WS6 M6.

Might want to spray a little carb cleaner near the egr, intake, TB & so on and see if the idle changes, this could help spot a vacuum leak.

Good Luck

you could also do a idle relearn, that should solve that. See if when it does this if you hit the AC it changes.
