I know this has been reported elsewhere but I can't find a good solution description.

My 2006 V50 1.8 has strange idle characteristics. When you pull up and put the clutch in the idle drops to about 300-500 RPM and then goes up to about 1100 then back to 900 (which is presumably the correct level). It seems to be getting a bit worse and drops very low sometimes (hasn't stalled yet). It seems a bit better when the engine has warmed up properly.

Is this likely to be throttle body / air valve cleaning job? or vacuum hose somewhere?
