Great, thanks for confirming Justin. I thought so as the issue isn't present if I flash Stage 0. It's just strange that I get it on the OTS maps as well as the Custom files I'm receiving...
I'll keep working with my tuner to iron it out!
Hi All,
Back in April I bit the bullet, unlocked my ECU and flashed my car with MHD, after previously running a JB4 for 18 months. Since flashing I’ve had an issue with the throttle being jerky when accelerating. I have no issues at WOT. I have attached a log below if anyone wants to check it...
Unfortunately I didn't get any photos, but in your photo above, imagine someone pushed the back (nearest filter) of the fresh air flap up by about 2-3 inches. At a glance it doesn't look wrong, but it's basically inverted 90°. Your photo shows the flap in its 'fully open' position, so anything...
Apologies for the time it’s taken me to get back to you, I’ve been without the car for the past few months. Got it back last week and bleed the brakes, sure enough a tonne of air in the system…
Pedal feel is back to normal now!
Going to be ordering some uprated brake fluid though, as I’ve...
Just an update, in case anyone else has this issue.
It turns out, when refitting the cabin filter, the technician made a common mistake of not putting the car into recirc mode first. This seems to be an issue on all G-Series BMW’s, if you do not enter recirc mode first, you run the risk of...
I currently have the cheapest, flimsiest filter I could find in there, as I bought it to test the issue.
The problem is that the airflow arrow is pointing the opposite way to what it should be. This is the only theory I have as to why the drop in airflow is triggered by sliding the filter in...
The top photo is what I've got at the moment, so currently the air flow arrow is pointing towards the front of the car. The bottom photo is what I've ordered.
The top filter would be fine in an LHD car as the arrows would point towards the cabin. As the RHD car I have is just a mirrored version...
I tried removing the filter, and the airflow goes back to normal. If I leave the A/C running on full, then slide the filter into the housing, I can feel the airflow drop off substantially, if I pull the filter back out, normal airflow returns.
Obviously you're always going to get some...
Update, I have found a genuine BMW filter that appears to multi-directional (airflow arrows point both ways). I have ordered it along with some Liqui-Moly A/C System Cleaner. Will update the thread with my results once they arrive.
I've checked the drain, and under the scuttle trim where the A/C system pulls fresh air from, nothing out of the ordinary from what I can see.
The only issue I can find, is that the airflow arrow on the Pollen/Cabin Filter points the wrong way. I've tried two different filters, one genuine BMW...
Thanks @zrk, that was my gut feeling, but puts my mind at ease hearing it from someone else.
I went out last night and re-bedded my brakes, seems to have improved the issue quite a bit.
Hi Guys,
I have the following fault code, paired with reduced airflow from the vents (around 50% what it used to be) and a slightly musty smell when starting the car after it has been sat. I have tried changing the pollen/cabin filter, but this didn't help. I also ran a couple of cans of AC...
Hi Guys,
The other night I was doing some Dragy runs. After doing a 0-130 pull, I slowed down quite abruptly back to 0. I felt like the car took longer than I would've normally expected to come to a stop, and I needed to press the pedal harder than I normally do to get the car to slow down. I...
I ended up just removing and cleaning the MAP sensor with some alcohol, and I also cleaned the JB4 connector plug. Cleared the code and it never came back.
Hi guys,
I’ve had this issue ever since I flashed XHP on my car. But it’s got to the point where it’s really bugging me now.
Basically, when driving in comfort, which I do a lot of the time as my car is a daily driver, if I accelerate over 50% throttle the XHP Ignition Cut kicks in when the...
Did you ever get to the bottom of this? I have the same code showing with my JB4 fitted, but mine has been fitted for 18 months and it’s only just started showing up.
Anyone else had this? Anyone solved it?
I get a high pitch rattle/buzzing noise from my wireless charger, but only when my phones on it. When I take it off it stops...
I have removed the wireless charger cover to see if this would help, but it hasn't.
