Since the idle RPM is 850 +/- 50 for manual, and 900 +/- 50 for auto, that
shouldn't happen often.
Idle RPM is the first thing to check if the oil light flickers at idle (more
likely after a high speed run).  VW consider it isn't a problem if it goes off
again as you raise the RPM, but it does give advance warning of bearing wear.
