[Vwdiesel] 1.9TD rpm at idle

[Wade Yorke]

Hi;
Is the the idle speed of the VW diesels the same engine to engine.  I 
am using a alternator/tach interface to allow the stock Vanagon gas 
tach to be used with the signal from the W terminal of the diesel 
alternator.  To do the calibration I either need to  find a VW dealer 
with a rpm gauge for a diesel (and likely pay an hour's shop time) or 
if the diesel idle is consistently within a 500 rpm range that may be 
close enough for me.

Thanks
