the idle should be around 900-950RPM. The only time it is above that is when it is cold and the ECU ups the speed to let it run a little better.

I have a 2000 NB TDI manual with 100,000 miles.

Lately, starting has been prolonged a bit. An unusual wheezing noise after the engine started can be heard occasionally. What can be the cause?

Also, when new, the idle rpm was above 1k. It is now below 1k. Can this be problematic?

Thank you.
