I have a manual 1996 vw cabrio. It makes a rattling noise as well when it's in neutral.

Ok, it's 1000rpm, not 10rpm, forgot about the x100. I'm sure it used to go down to much closer to 0rpm when it's in neutral until a couple days ago. I have a manual 1996 vw cabrio. It makes a rattling noise as well when it's in neutral.

There's nothing wrong with it. If I remember correctly, the proper idle speed for that car is 1,100 rpm's.
The rattling noise might be your starter's heat shield. It's a common rattle in many cars. Just find it and tighten the bolts.

There will be no difference in a manual gearbox. If it was an automatic then there would be throttle problems. Or just a need for a tune up.
The rattle could be something loose on the engine like a fan shroud or a bolt. You will need to listen carefully as to where to noise is coming from. Worse case scenario is a snapped crank but if this were the case then it would be very possible that your engine wouldn't be running at all.
The most expensive part of engine repairs are labor and the time it would take the mechanic to diagnose the problem. The cost could be at a minimum of $50 for an hour plus parts if needed.

Does it sound like it's idling higher? Does it shift differently/harder out of neutral into drive gears ? 1,000 RPM does seem high for that car ... I'd guess it should be closer to 6-800.
If you have a service manual for the car (Haynes or Chilton's for example) it should give you the baseline idle speed (i.e., what RPM your car should be at in idle mode - or neutral)
And, actually - no offense to the prior poster - but idle speeds *do* vary between automatic and manual transmissions. If you have a service manual like I talked about above, you'll see two different RPM speeds for the different tranny's.
Anyway, if it is racing (idling higher than it should) in neutral, it could be a LOT of different things - there are a slew of different sensors on those cars that impact baseline idle speed, in addition to mechanical issues such as throttle linkages, etc. Sorry I can't answer your question more exactly, but it's too broad of a problem to pinpoint a simple answer if it is idling high.
Good luck!

If the engine is running, your tach will show a reading. That is exactly its function. To show you how fast the engine is running in terms of revolutions per minute. And it's not ten, it's 1000. Somewhere on the face of the tach it will say "X100", which means the reading "times 100". 10 X 100 = 1000. If you shut off the engine the tach will drop to zero.

Most cars have an optimum idle speed. It may be 1,000, but that seems a little high. Usually a tune up will fix any racing.
