well.. i bought mine on 275 000km...some would think im mad., but i could see fromt he service book that mine spent most its life commuting between outshoorn and stellenbosch (400km) so i gathered a long distance miles car...
when i got the car, i changed the flywheel and clutch (yes its a manual
)changed the suspension.
there has only been 3 issues for me so far. rather 4.
1) aircon compressor went. REPLACED
2) oil cooler sprung a leak causing a bloody mess in the coolant system
3) dealership replaced 6 injectors before i got the car but didnt install most of their seals, so after 4000km of driving the car it caused issues... had to have the injectors removed, cleanup up and re-installed this time properly.
since then.. nothing... oh yeah i have some diesel sweat at the pipe from the diesel filter to the block.. that see-through pipe thingy, its leaking by the T-PIECE
i can probably put a piece of rubber pipe.. but im scared t-piece might be cracked.. so at some point i need to fix this.
First 530d to 400 000km wins a case of beers
haha

Even after the battery being disconnected to try and reset the ECU, the car is still going into what may be stage 1 limp mode whenever I put my foot down, and the DDE error pops up until I restart the car. Once restarted she's fine. If I don't put my foot down at all, she's fine.
May need to force the error and then get codes read whilst in limp and idling or driving and see what diagnostics says.
All the work was done without the battery being disconnected. A sensor playing up perhaps? One of the other fuel pumps packing up and not supplying enough fuel or pressure?
Help

peter told me, that disconnecting alone isn't enough, you need to disconnect, then hold the two battery leads toegether, for a few minutes to drain out any residual stored voltage, still being held by capacitors etc

I'm not interested in high performance right now. The car has more power than I will ever use, and I hardly put my foot down. I do want it sorted, however. I'm not sure loading another map without using my stock map is the bet idea. It's a 13 year old car and she needs TLC.
