He best start working out, but a crank starter would probably work better
And back on topic, did you ever get it to idle correctly? Are you sure the hoses are sealing 100%? I had the same leak on mine and it would only want to stall out on a rare occasion when it was cold out, once I fixed it it ran like yours is/was until I did an idle relearn. The idle relearn I did was given by Bill Curlee if Im not mistaken but it was different than the one he posted here. Im sure he can verify if there is more than one way to do one however.

Glad the relearn worked, I had a feeling that's what it needed. I am sitting at 850 warm. What is "lower than it used to" exactly....

800 may be okay, depending on what you are doing when measuring. If the car is in park, that might be normal. I thought my A4 would idle between 500 and 600rpm but that may have been in drive with the breaks on.
