When we start the engine, the rpm is slightly higher than the idle rpm(for Swift D idle warm rpm is 800, while at start it touches 900+)
Allow it to come to warm idle rpm (800 in this case)
Is this true? Can that be a bench mark than 30 sec or 1 min idling?
I normally see that it takes more than 1 min for rpm to settle down. |
Never Idle latest Gen Diesel engines. Engine do not warm up by idling.
Swift D should be driven at a low RPM (Below 2000) initially till the temp needle reaches the halfway mark and stabilizes after that increase the RPM beyond 2000.
