What is the standard idle speed you would expect from this engine?
Mine is strange, some days it idles at 1100rpm, some days 750rpm, some days 800rpm some even at 500rpm.
its just i do a lot of motorway miles and the higher it idles the higher the revs at 70mph and the more fuel it uses.
i would like it to idle at 500rpm ALL the time as it does 135miles for £10 of diesel :)
thanks in advance
