2.0d rough idle with ac on

Post by Rob_benton » Mon Sep 08, 2014 9:07 am

Hi

Looking at a manual 2006 X3 2.0d.
When the ac is turned on the idle becomes rough as the rpm needle dips up and down slight. You can feel it shaking slightly too. When the ac is turned off the revs smooth out again.
The ac belt has just been changed and it blows cold ok.

Any ideas appreciated

Thanks

Sounds like the car isn't increasing the idle speed automatically.
