Warm and with aircon off, the rev counter reports 450rpm.....the ECU reports target and actual rpm as 500rpm.

Warm and with aircon on, the rev counter reports 600rpm.....the ECU reports target and actual rpm as 650rpm.

Remember that the rev counters are not totaly accurate.

Am I right in saying it should be 660rpm? If so I'm wondering if my timing is slightly out.

It's under closed loop control by the ECU using the idle air valve, so assuming it doesn't fluctuate when you turn the steering and switch on the air con, indicating the ECU has lost control of the idle speed (dirty air valve, maybe?) it's where the ECU wants it to be.

Ignition timing (if that's what you mean) is controlled by the ECU and not adjustable, but it's one of the parameters that the ECU will use to control idle speed. Cam timing might make it idle lumpy but the ECU will still regulate the speed.

As Mark says, Tachos are not accurate, especially at small indications, so if you don't have any instability of the idle or stalling problems I'd say it's OK.

I think if they are not fluctuating and engine dont have irregular vibrations its ok.

About 750 with climate 600/650 without.
Think I need a top hat seal on the breather box so that might lower it slightly.
