Hi all.

Found this while looking for something else.

youtube link to video showing my WBX 2.1 AFM, engine running:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SH9_XjjzjSw&feature=youtu.be

Video quality is not great, but at beginning, and more so at end, you
can see how the wiper arm is not steady. Nor is the idle.

I'm sure it's been mentioned or speculated on before, but maybe a poor
idle can cause undue wear and tear on the AFM resistive strip? My
understanding is that if the idle is good, the AFM wiper should be
steady. If it is a possible issue, my guess is it would take many
miles of poor idle to cause a problem but that's just a WAG.

The idle on my 2.1 WBX has been improved, but at time of making the
video, it wasn't as good. You can sort of hear this in the video.

Neil.
