As the start was too short and the engine was too low, the idle speed stays at around 500 rpm (approx. 50°C coolant temperature).

Why is the idle speed on my golf so low?

Cause: The Multipoint engine in the Golf has been made more protective to the environment by keeping the idle speed very low (600-700 rpm).
