So I just picked up the 96 tsi fwd with 134k on it. Now I did a full fluid change when I got it. Now that I've been driving it around when I come to idle it will drop down to 600 and recover to1200rpm. At rpms less than 1000 the oil light will illuminate / flicker. Oil level is slightly above full after the fresh change of syn. 10w30 and new filter. Car is mechanically stock outside of a manual boost control and clutch. I've read some saying that it needs a rebuild and am hoping there are other solutions to try first because I don't have the means to rebuild it.
