Tickover adjustment.

[comberjohn]

The tickover on my TC dropped very slightly when I fitted the AF-XiED units and I just wanted to bring the tickover back up again to where I'm used to.
How is it adjusted once the engine is properly warmed?

In the wonderful world of high tech you can't adjust the idle speed via a good old drew driver. The idle spead is controlled by stepper motors. The only way to adjust these is by computer. The later GS911 plug in tool will allow you to do this. Some kind sole on this forum may lend you one or if you join the BMW owners club, they will lend you one....or shell out about £400 for one of your own.

Cheers

911 will let you sync the steppers but it won't let you change the idle speed.

Pretty sure the later versions will....but accept I could be wrong. If I am then it's back to the dealer.

I had a feeling that was the case.
Not a big problem, just have to wait until the next service. Performed by an experienced, independent BMW mechanic.

Hi. A gs911 can't adjust idle speed. There is no way short of a remap that can adjust the idle

Here's me thought this would be an easy one...
