Ok, got it - I uploaded it to YouTube:

I plan to service the transmission when it gets warmer, but fear this might be a more serious symptom than overdue filter and oil.. Any ideas?

Looks like an idle oscillation to me, not related to the transmission. Most likely cause is a vacuum leak somewhere. I'd start with a smoke test on the intake manifold.

Good point! My initial thought was that the transmission had too much or uneven resistance while applying the brake, ie when engine and transmission works against each other, but I guess a vacuum leak would do the same.

How do you test for vacuum leaks with a smoke machine?

Basically, you seal up the intake as much as possible, and find a way to feed smoke from the machine into the manifold. For example, you may want to block the MAF with a latex glove or thin plastic (Saran wrap), then feed the smoke into the large PCV hose that enters the base of the ETA. I think that will work.

With low-pressure (1-2 psi?) smoke injected, look for smoke coming out anywhere around the intake manifold, or vacuum hoses in the engine compartment. Ideally there should be none.

Ok, I see, thanks - I honestly didn’t think of checking the system in isolation, only to check it while running

Er ikke ASR lyset på ?

Jo, det har dessverre ikke fikset seg selv i løpet av vinteren

Translation: my ASR-light is still on..

ah ha.Ja Da kan det være grunn til den jagingen.Mitt ASR lys har kommet på ettpar ganger grunnet feil på nøytralgirkasse bryteren,og dette vil gjøre at tomgang kan jakte sånn som den gjør på din.Den gjorde det på min.Vil anbefale deg å få lest ut feilkoder,og se hva som er årsaken til det først.Om det evnt er noen nye feilkoder,VISS du har lest ut før.

ah ha. Yes, then there may be a reason for the chasing. My ASR light has come on a couple of times due to a fault with the neutral gearbox switch, and this will cause the idle to chase like it does on yours. It did on mine. I would recommend that you have the fault codes read out, and see what is the cause of it first. If there are any new fault codes, MAKE SURE you have read them out before.

Cool, thanks for the tip! I will make sure to check for codes once spring arrives! Do you remember the pin# for that?

What’s weird is that it only started doing this once the car reached operating temperature

Husker desverre ikke hvilket system som flagga feilkoden,om det var ABS/ASR, LH elller EA(gasspjeld ) EA er pin 7, ABS/ASR er pin6 og LH/motor er pin 4.
Så bilen er ikke alltid sånn som dette? Jeg mener fremdeles at du bør finne ut ASR feilen først, da den absolutt kan få bilen til å jage sånn som dette...

Unfortunately I don't remember which system flagged the error code, whether it was ABS/ASR, LH or EA (throttle) EA is pin 7, ABS/ASR is pin 6 and LH/engine is pin 4. So the car isn't always like this? I still think you should find out the ASR error first, as it can definitely make the car chase like this...

See the attachments in this post for details on which pin is for which system.
