'94 Omega TD Estate
What's the correct idle speed for the BMW 2.5 TD Engine? The current reading is showing circa 650 rpm. Everytime I put the AirCon on or turn the steering hard over when the car is stationary, and in drive, the engine stalls.
How will I get the RPM increased?
Thanks
-
650 rpm would seem about right, however i will confess i am not a tractor expert, no doubt one of those will be along soon
-
The RPM sounds about right
-
This might strange, could the problem be due to the alternator trying to charge the battery? The battery I have on the car is not the correct one, if it constantly needing to charge this would load the engine every 20-30 seconds? :-/

Showing my ignorance, but did BMW manufacture some of the Vauxhall / Opel Omega engines, or have I misunderstood something please? :o :o :o
Have got a Bloody Minded Wxxkers engine under my bonnet have I!! :o

Liz - no - the 2.5TD Omega uses the straight 6 BMW engine.
All petrol Omega's are GM... so you're safe!

The French have got their fingers everywhere as well, Lizzie...the latest BMW MINI has a Citroen engine and all Ford TDCi engines are actually Peugeot/Citroen units built by Ford under license...
It can't be that bad a 6-pot diesel - it can be found under the bonnet of Range Rovers as well...

And has exactly the same issues in that as well ;)

Given the scares over GM products, is it REALLY safe to drive a miggy now ??

Drove one of those BMW TD-engined Range Rovers back when they were new - slowest car I've ever had the misfortune to get behind the wheel of, it was so underpowered it wasn't even funny >:(

Surely better than the old 200TDi ones?
Wasn't the RR one detuned like the Omega one?
-
I have to say that my Omega (BMW) TD is fantasic, loads of torque and very responsive. Leaves many boy racers behind in sport mode :)
Still no thoughts about the idle problem then?

Never drove one of those, but the next day did drive a Discovery with the then-new 5 cylinder "Storm" TD, and that was a darn sight more sprightly, helped by more torque.
