What is the normal idle speed for a Volkswagen engine?
1 Answers
Under normal circumstances, the engine idle speed ranges between 500 to 850 RPM, which is considered normal. Normal driving conditions: Top gear engine speeds are as follows: when reaching 100 km/h, the speed is generally around 2800 RPM; at 110 km/h, it's approximately 3200 RPM; and at 120 km/h, it's typically 3400 RPM! Speed is proportional to RPM: The shift-up RPM is not fixed—it varies depending on conditions. It's incorrect to always shift up at the same RPM regardless of circumstances. As long as there's no lugging and sufficient power, shifting up at any RPM is acceptable. The practice of always shifting up at a single RPM is wrong. Remember that shift-up RPM is proportional to vehicle speed and throttle input intensity.
