Revs on idle

Discussion in 'Mechanical - Engine, Gearbox, Exhaust etc' started by dmn1989, Dec 2, 2013.

  1. What revs should the 225 sit at on idle?
     
  2. when the engine is warm bout 800/900 a think.
     
  3. Mines sit bang on 1k. Is this anything to worry about?

    Mine sits around 1k, is your idle smooth? No coughing from the exhaust? If no I'd say your probably fine.
     
  5. it will sit on 1k until it warms up. is it standard? tbh it should be fine if it drives ok.

    Ye, it's also had new spark plugs and injectors within the last year which cured the cough and lumpy idle, I'll have another look Thursday as I'm starting to doubt myself.
     
  7. Yeah everything's fine. No coughing etc.

    Thanks guys. I thought it would be fine. Just over cautious.

    Bad experiance before with a Mini Cooper S.
     
  8. On the two I had and the 250 it starts out at 1k but will drop to 800-900 when warm. That's normal but if it stays at 1k I've no idea if it's a problem!
