[QUOTE="Insured By Mafia, post: 730986, member: 25747"] Errr...I'm afraid I'd like to skip that question bro KW930..Never wana spoil someone's rice bowl / reputation. Honestly, the mech im visiting, he's a very nice chap and a very reliable guy. I'd still recommend him to our fellow Bimmer owners. Probably one of the modest mech of all the mech's I've visited so far. His quotations are often reasonable too. Just that I'm goin thru some bad time i suppose. Bro Moots, agree with you. But too bad for me, the car will be error-free when i drive it away from the workshop. I'm convinced that my mech is trying to do the best for me. There were plenty of times he did free troubleshooting and free minor repairs. We have a good relationship. Anyway, back to the main topic. I think I've managed to solve the problem guys I visited a wiring Sifu yesterday, Man Car Electrical Service in USJ 1. Tauke Ah Man.(of course, recommended by my mech). While on the way to his workshop, the Golden Triangle disappeared. Explained to him about the error and also the RPM fluctuation just in case if its related. He immediately pointed out DISA valve for his boys to inspect for any vacuum leak. He suspected the "butterfly" like flap inside the DISA valve is broken. But no damage were found. Serviced DISA valve. Still, RPM fluctuation was there. Diagnostic tool triggered 3 new error codes; i) Error 135 - TPS Starting test readaptation was triggered. ii) Error 160 - Engine throttle position controller jammed briefly iii) Error 161 - Engine throttle position controller jammed permanently. Tried doing RCA. Encountered a weird behaviour. RPM eventually stabilized with air-cond on. but it started fluctuating when the air-cond is turned off. Finally, MAF, DISA Valve and ICV (Idle Control Valve) were all unmounted and serviced. No errors were triggered and RPM is stable since then. Total 2.5 labor hours were spent during the workshop's peak hours by Ah Man's boy. For some reasons, Ah Man didn't bill me. It was done for free folks. I'm a happy man now. Cheers all. [/QUOTE]
