Hi Gents,
I'm looking for your advise / experience on this.
Initially our e90 would be lazy to start & once going all of the dashboard lights lit up like a xmas tree. The idle was erratic & can be described as hunting.
Once reverse is engaged the yellow gearbox cog would come on. Switching the car off & starting again would clear the faults but at times it would almost go into a limp mode which can get quite hairy. The battery light came on a few times thereafter.
Battery Centre tested the battery & they said its fine even under load. They suggested we trickle charge it & give the car a good run. This will work for the day after but will barely manage to start.
By elmination, we put in an OEM BM battery (hoping to resolve the issues) but after a few days the same symptoms are there. The battery light still comes on & idling is rough/hunting.
A quick scan on Carly tells me "4A27 intelligent battery sensor Layer DIBS1, Glow Plug across all cylinders, 009D12 battery circle " errors. I then registered the battery on Carly hoping that this will resolve issues.
From what the stealerships tell me, the 2006 e90s don't have IBS. :dunnoanymore:
At no stage did we test the alternator but Dr Google is leaning towards the regulator.
Any other owners experience such & how did you rectify? :ty:
