Sounds like the Idle Speed Control Valve bud, located near the injector rail, just needs removed and cleaned, petrol will do the trick. There's a thread on this site that shows it's exact location

May be you have an electronic problem with one of your 6 sensors, and your ECU run the engine on 1.500 rpm to advise driver for this problem.
Only L8 and P8 ECU are able to do that.
First, do an autodiag.

Regards.
