Advisor, I agree with ur statement below.

"I think the vibration is unbearable in the afternoon only. When the air
is cold, in the morning and at night, it is acceptable."

Where do u plan to chg ur steering bush? Pls update us with the result &
the cost. Thx.

Not anymore with the Siemen ECU. You need the PDT2000 heand held to do
adjustment. I think the devise allows idling up to 875rpm max.

I will change the steering bush later not so soon but I will let you know
once it is done.

Of course I can not tell you for sure because no idea how bad this
vibration is or for how long it happens.. there could be a problem with
your aircon .. however, under basically normal conditions you can expect a
drop in RPM, a rough spot and a recovery or correction to happen when your
aircon comes on.. and then sometimes an increase in RPM to compensate or
increased timing or fueling.. but a noticable increase in RPM is not
mandatory for all cars.. this is normal.. look at it like this.. you are
walking along (idle) and someone drops a 10 Kilo weight on your shoulders
(aircon compressor on).. you stumble for a second.. realize whats up and
correct yourself and keep walking ..

I assume this is similarily happening when the aircon is switched off also?


Peace

phibes ,
yes .. but normally the ECU will sense a drop in RPM and it will increase
the fuel intake to maintain the power .

On most fuel injected cars, yes. Reading through the post you mentioned
yours is carb.. perhaps adjust the idle mixture a bit richer.. or as you
mentioned, just up the idle RPM with the aircon on if this is easy for you.
. I say this because most people here will have their aircon on almost all
the time.. and the "slightly" higher idle at the times it is not on isn't
harmful.
