new battery - now tick over has gone mad!
Just had to replace the battery on my '95 2.6 A6, the
tick over was nice and steady before, but now it settles
at 1500+ and seems to vary a bit - plus the engine seems
a bit rough.
Is it just one of those things that will re-program itself
over the next few hundred miles, and then it'll be fine?
cheers,
Matt.

yes, the ecu will have powered down and settings lost, it will settle out.

Thanks,
How long will it likely take to right itself.
It's very embarrassing sitting in traffic with the engine
revving away!! Not to mention the fact that it is almost
impossible to crawl.
