Rev Counter

A&Q about 350Z
Q:

Hello everyone
I just bought a 98 Golf GTI 2.0 8V but have noticed that when I turn the engine on the rev counter starts at 10 instead of 0 zero... is this correct or is this a problem?
Many thanks in advance

do you mean it is running on 10 when the engine is running or just the ignition is on
A:

Is that not just the idle speed?
A:

if its at 10 when the engine is running, that is the engine idle, if it was at 0 then the engine wouldnt be running
A:

It is running at 10 when the engine is runnng, that must mean that when the engine is turned on (idle) then the rev will automatically move to 10 , right??
