My g/f just got a mini cooper. Idles fine when the A/C is off, when the a/c turns on the idle shoots up to about 1200rpm, fluctuates a little but it doesnt dip under 1000rpm. Any ideas?
Also the fan, which is apparently a 2spd fan, goes into high speed intermittently at idle, a little research shows that it is probably the relay that went bad and thefore it has no lowspeed, so when it reaches temp it turns the high speed fan on until it cools. Seems unrelated to the high idle but it could be responsible for the idle fluctuation. I'd have to see if the idle dips in conjunction with the fan turning on.
