Mine idles at 650rpm. I'm used to cars idling ~ 700 rpm.

Is 650 normal ?

Thank you

I believe.... As Google as my source....

The target idle is 650rpm for hot engine, +/- 30rpm or when gear is engaged.

Depends on engine temp, AC demand, ambient temperature, O2 sensor, cat heat, battery charge level, other electrical demands etc.

So I'd say spot on.

I know I'm a bit late to the party but just wanted to add my thoughts in case anybody searches this in future - my '13 V8S idles at 596rpm, it's got a lovely lumpy sound to it and Jaguar themselves said that was perfectly normal.
