  1. So control module for glow plugs came today so fitted that. Still looking at battery drain issue but still getting these codes: 4A07 Generator (Layer_BSD) 4A10 Bitserielle Data Interface BSD 4B37 Condition sensor (Layer_QLT) From googling it seems as if they're linked? I cleaned the contacts running to and from the alternator and all have continuity. Was hoping to find a bad connection but haven't. I've always had issues with the oil condition sensor as it reads inactive and won't let me reset service interval for oil. Changed the sensor for a new 3rd party one which didn't work and then tried a 2nd hand OEM one to no avail. Could have been unlucky with the 2nd hand one but any other ideas? Cheers.
  2. I did it whilst washing it so potentially not Dave. Thanks for the info again, will have a look tomorrow and if still the same will start pulling fuses! Thanks again, it's got aftermarket stereo and headlights so will start there I think. Cheers, Joe
  3. So just checked voltage with multimeter and it is 11.4v with the engine and ignition off. When running it hovers around 14.3 to 14.5v which leads me to suspect I have a drain somewhere. The battery is a 12 month old Exide so shouldn't be failing already. Any ideas how I go about identifying where the drain is coming from? Cheers, Joe
  4. Thanks for the reply Dave, Yes, when I trickle charge it, I use the + post under the bonnet. Will have a look at the voltage tonight, cheers again.
  5. Cheers Dave, will change ibs sensor and see if that helps anything. With regards to battery, I have a trickle charger that I left on the battery overnight to fully charge the battery, the charger itself said the battery was full but when I look through bimmercode, the state of charge is and has always been 57%. Wondering whether it's something to do with IBS or whether my charger isn't doing much? Going to order controller for glow plugs and do a change, the only time I see it is on cold days the idle is a bit lumpy for the first 10 seconds.
  6. Thanks for the reply, Dave. I got a new exide battery for it last year but didn't realise it needed registering. It's the same capacity and type as the old one. I fully charged it last week and the registered it to see if it would help. I did change the glow plugs for Bosch ones last week but looks like nothings changed. I'll buy those sensors and try and find a control module for the glow plugs to change. Think I should get a new battery sensor (ibs)? Trying to clear as many codes as I can within financial reason! As for the key, I had a firm program me a new key last year as the other died, would it be weak already after a year? Cheers.
  7. Hi all, Just fitted cruise control and successfully coded it using inpa and tool32. While I was in inpa, I decided to scan for codes and found a fair list of errors. The only issue I'm really having at the moment is that the key fob seems to work intermittently when locking/unlocking the car. I had it replaced just over a year ago and it was working fine for the first 6 months. Wondering if anyone can see a link with this and one of the below codes? JBBF - A6CF, A6E8 MRS - 93D0 DME/DDE - 4A6E, 4A07, 4A10, 4B37, 4A27, 4D03 DSC - 5E50 CAS - A0B3 FZD - A670 KLIMA - 9C6C Cheers, Joe
