Changing the idle can be done without remapping.
On my car, it took some extra software though, and the guys at the Volvo dealer had to ask how to do it.
I'm afraid it's no longer a case of turning a knob  |
What I meant was would a remap be enough? If I'd go with it I'd kill two birds with one stone. Of course, before I get around to remapping I may get a chance to hook up to an OEM übercomputer anyway.
I read somewhere (very probable that on EM) that a diesel doesn't need high rpms to keep turning and the only reason idle speed is ~800rpm is for noise/vibration/comfort reasons.
Mine idles >800 when rolling and ~760 when stopped, but I haven't checked with the A/C. I'd think that it would be possible to go lower
except when cold or running the A/C.
