Pete 0 Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) Hi having fitted the new poly mounts the car drives great but the vibration at idle is bonkers! Started featuring the throttle and if it idled a little higher it would be much better. Not sure what the idle should be and if mine is a little low? Here I the idle on start up this morning. And here after a 10 min drive. I read on here that the line on the tachy is the idle point but mine seems lower. Can I adjust the stop bolt thing in the engine bay (that you use to open the throttle body) not sure of its technical name to increase the idle? Apart from fuel economy would this have any detrimental effects, or is there another way to adjust it? I also find that sometimes pulling away needs a blip or the engine lumps around a bit. If it makes a difference my car has an AMD remapped ecu and a BMC CDA. Thanks. Pete. Edited August 18, 2012 by Pete Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GusPW 0 Posted August 18, 2012 (edited) I expect the only way to adjust idle speed is to change setting in the ecu, so basically a remap. that idle speed looks normal to me but not got my car at the moment so can't check. Can't imagine AMD would have lowered the idle as its pretty low as standard, if anything I would expect them to raise it slightly. Maybe change lower rear mount back to standard as suggested on group buy thread Edited August 18, 2012 by GusPW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GlosterOx 0 Posted August 18, 2012 From memory I think the idle should be 650rpm when warm so that looks about right? Ian. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pete 0 Posted August 18, 2012 Thanks guys, I would rather not go back to the previous mount because the car was juddering before. I have an obd cable to my laptop, is there a way of going in and making the change myself? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
