High RPM Idle?

[SpotnikHTP04]

Hello all. 
 

glad to see the weather getting relatively better in London. It was a good 15-18°c today so it was nice to drive with the windows down a bit. 
 

my Fabia 1.2 BMD engine has a slightly high idle. Wondering if anyone has any pointers to try and figure out what could be causing it. 
 

The idle was at about 800-950 

On startup, when warmed up and during drives. 
 

the temp gauge is always just a bit over the halfway 90. And gets there fairly quick. 
 

Any pointers are appreciated.

I've some notions, but would want a VCDS reading.

What’s the cheapest entry to this device? 

 

Ive seen mentions of it around all the time, just not sure what to pickup exactly. 

 

I also have a MacBook so no windows around me, although i could use a program to emulate(?) the windows and use my laptop or will i not need that at all.

 

Thanks mate

You'd need to install Windows and use bootcamp on your Mac to run VCDS.

I had a trial for windows parallels once I may have to register again and try get another run of it. 

 

Will try to update thanks for the responses!
