He guys,

Just replaced the unit. Ordered an original. The fault was intermittent so hopefully it's gone for good. Was a lot of fiddling.

What really surprised me was the production date of the old unit (see picture). This is aug 2017. So if this is the first one that has been replaced then the original one had a lifetime of (production of car okt 2010) approximately 7 years. The one I replaced today only had a lifetime of 5 years.

Really weird that these units life so short. Not sure why. Hopefully this is the culpri

Thanks!

Vielen Dank für die Antwort.

Können Sie anhand der Fehlermeldung erkennen, dass der Controller defekt ist?

Kann ich ein HERTH+BUSS- oder Hitachi-Steuergerät mit Bosch-Glühkerzen kombinieren?

Dear BMW experts,

When reading out my BMW (F11 530D production year 08/2010) using ISTA I was getting an error concerning the glow plugs. See screenshot below (241F00). Preheating control unit: preheating control unit, output stage, cylinder 1, faulty. Sometimes cylinder 4 also comes up with the same error.

Things I have done so far:

1) I thought it would be the glow plug itself so I replaced it but was giving the same error

2) Removed the connector on cylinder 1 than it’s giving me the error that there is an open circuit

3) Placed the connector of cylinder 1 one the top of cylinder 3. It is giving me the same error as above

All those things above made me think that it isn’t the glow plug itself but the controller.

Now I have some questions concerning this error.

A) Do you guys also think it is the controller?

B) I read on the website with BMW that you can’t combine Bosch and Beru for example. Glow plug unit and glow plugs (see screenshot). Is this really a problem? Can I buy HERTH+BUSS or Hitachi?

C) On the internet I read everywhere that when there is a problem in the DDE ECU the car won’t regenerate its DPF. When I read out the DDE I don’t see any problem with this or am I missing something?

Thanks for your help in advance!

Happy easter!

Thanks MunichMark! Still have no idea driving me nuts such a stupid thing. Mabye it has to brake further or something to find the cullprit.

Just made a movie there is a little bit of play when I feel the clunk. Do you guys think this could be the problem?

Tried to find play in the rear axle couldn't find any when both rear wheels where on stands and the gear in neutral. Today I was thinking don't you guys think it could be the active rear sway bar because there isn't any play in the suspension? See movie

Dear MunichMark: It really doesnt sound that its coming from the exaust because you all so feel the back of the car moving. So not only sound but also something in the suspension or differential.

Dear AltinB1306: Is there an easy way to check the differential. Maybe use the GoPro? Do I need a repair set something like this than?

Dear MunichMark. Thanks for your answer. I definetely feel it in the rear so I don't thinks it's comming from the front. It's really strange that not one garage has found the problem so far. It almost seems to come from close to the camera https://photos.app.goo.gl/581yLps66VoFuuAGA in this movie. The guibos don't look to wrong. See pictures. Have no idea where to go from here.

Dear Experts,

My german ins't that good so I will try it in english. Hopefully no problem.

For approximately a couple of months I have an extremely annoying clunking sound coming from the back of my car when accelerating. It's an BMW F11 530D production year 08/2010. Hopefully I can find the problem, although I already tried a lot of things.

The sound is the most pronounced when you accelerate with the car from standing still with the steering wheel turned completely to the left. I think I feel and hear the sound the best on the left side in the back of the car. But not completely sure. Until now 3 different garages couldn't pin point the problem. The problem is best hearable in this movie filmed from the underside of the car pointed to the left side of the car https://photos.app.goo.gl/581yLps66VoFuuAGA

The things I have tried so far:

1) Replaced both shock absorbers (fairly expensive L ) because they are active shocks problem still persists

2) Replaced the 3 differential rubbers (hell of a job) rubber 11 and 8 see link https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=MX51-EUR-08-2010-F11-BMW-530d&diagId =33_1454

3) One of the garages found a little bit of play in the central part of the right wheel of the active rear steering. The suggestions were that it could be the bearing in this axis. I placed a GoPro under the car to film this HSR system https://photos.app.goo.gl/FscAGVZm6w7A4rpB8 I don't think I can see any play in this joint as you can see in this movie.

4) The garage told me that the problem could be the ball joint number 13 https://www.realoem.com/bmw/en…1-BMW-530d&diagId=33_1453

but that he couldn't find the play in the joint because of the pressure that the air suspensions puts on the rear axle. So I removed the air out the air suspensions and tried to find any play in the rear axle but couldn't find anything even with the air removed.

5) Checked both guibos some small hair pin tears but not as worn as the differential rubbers

I tried a lot of thing but the problem is still persisting. Hopefully one of the experts here has an idea how to continue from here because I am a little bit stocked.

Thanks in advance !

Fixed it :D. It was thinking why not a good old reset so I pulled the negative terminal of the battery waited a minute and connected the battery again. Problem fixed. Really strange! Hopefully it will help somebody!
