Anyone ever got this and is it quite normal? I can understand it dropping abit but by 200rpm? And the AFR increases but no other electrical item makes this happen.Can anybody shed any light on this please?

It's a big load, and if your ICV is'nt in good nick it doesn't handle that sort of thing very well.________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

Well with nothing to lift the throttle vs the increased load from the alternator it's hardly surprising the revs drop. Can you raise the idle speed a little to compensate? If it drops 200 rpm that's right on the verge of stalling and would explain your nasty AFR reading.________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

Wouldn't really want to raise idle anymore as it sits around 1100 iirc. I'll keep an eye on it, it's not that close to stalling just something I noticed today and wondered if anyone had any ideas. Didn't realise the rear heated screen increased the load by that much, no more than say the blower. ________________________________________ Phase 2 Blaze GTi 6 (Standard) SoldPhase 3 Supercharged China GTi 6 (249.8 BHP) Sold Phase 3 Supercharged Diablo GTi 6 (443 BHP)Sold Nissan 350Z (300 BHP) |

It's a lot more, only a few amps for a motor, but more like 20+ amps for a heated screen, that's probably why it set to idle at 1100 and not the usual 950 rpm then. Just something you're going to have to put up with then I guess.________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies. I sell new and used welding equipment in the Hampshire area.

Paul,Having the same running gear setup as you, I would suspect mine also does this.  However, seeing as I have never driven it in the winter or anytime after September during the year, I've never had need to use the heated screen.  But yeah, as Jim says, the heated screen is a huge electrical load in comparison to other items on the car. ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

However, seeing as I have never ever driven it simply because the car does not exist, I've never had need to use the heated screen. EFA  ________________________________________ cherry p1.....SOLD (regreting this)blaze p2.....why did i buy this SOLD Black p3 |
