hi Everyone i have just recently bought the Skoda rapid estate which seems to have come with a few problems, one being when i start the car it idles a 800 rpm then when it gets warm it it get to 1000, and in 1,2,3,4 gear it quite normal then in filth it goes along on its own at what seems to be 38 mph as thought cruise control is on has anyone experienced this thank you in anticipation

Welcome. Best say what engine you have as we can not just guess. Is it a manual gearbox? With a TSI normal is maybe 1,100 rpm on start up and dropping to 800 or so rpm after 40-60 seconds. Is the AC on or off?

yes sorry

aircon off, thanks for your quick reply

It sounds to me that the ECU is commanding too high closed-throttle revs when engine is up to temperature, you need to have the vehicle scanned for any DTCs (fault codes) recorded. It could be due to a faulty sensor.

Is the car doing regen maybe, and constantly.

Is this just the anti-stall software not allowing you to trickle along at (too low) revs? What revs is it doing at 38mph in 5th?

i checked around the internet and the anti stall seems about right,Ai. said it might be regen. but thank you all for your replies, the only thing about having a duff motor is you see how kind people are at taking time out to write a reply to try to get you out of bother, my next challenge is a oil leak it seems to be coming from quite high at the back of the engine on the right side, tomorrow i will post pictures and video as i have a small endoscope and i have removed the big pipe that goes to the air filter box and i can see much better with the my normal torch and today i cleaned it as much as is possible with engine cleaner so i can see better where its from thanks everyone

Be very cautious if spraying any inflammable engine cleaner near the induction system - don't use it on a running engine!
