The normal idle on a TDI should be just under 1k. The only way to adjust it is with the VAGCOM program in your laptop and the connection cable. This is available from http://www.ross-tech.com/ Great diag tool for setting everything on your TDI

If you intend to keep your TDI self maintained/repaired, this is an impossible task without the factory repair manual which has detailed instructions for all repairs and whether or not factory tools are required. You can order one through your local dealer although they come up on eBay fairly often. There are few parameters on the fly by wire TDI that can be changed without the VAG scanner.

High idel

You may have a bad control valve or regulator. Did you adjust the idle properly?

1. Disconnect the connector on top
2. Adjust idle to around 650-700k rpm
3. Reconnect the electrical connection

After reconnecting, the idle should jump up around 700-750k rpm.
The idle screw is fail safe setting in case the ecu cannot set the idle. The rpm's set by the idle screw are supposed to be below the ecu/stock idle.

If this doesn't work, you may have a dirty or bad Idle Air Adjuster and/or Air Regulator. For information on cleaning that, you can refer to this page http://s95014253.onlinehome.us/63104/157335.html

You can test the IAA by supplying power to the plug with the car off. Listen for any clicks or humming. That will signify that it still may be working but is possibly stuck. The Air Regulator is for high idle for warming up your car. It has a bi-metal spring inside that rotates a disc closing off an airway to bring idle to normal after a couple minutes. If it dies it will stay open and give you permanent high idle. If it gets clogged usually no high idle for warm up.
You can remove it and peer through the end. If you see a thin sliver of light, it's open. Connect 12 volts + & -, wait a few minutes and see if it's now closed. If not, it's likely dead. It can be opened and cleaned if that's the issue.
