    Rough idle

    Well im having a few problems with my e39 530i its running very rough when idle and there is a noticeable loss of power and its also drinking the petrol more than usual!

    I was getting these fault codes so i changed the disa valve which was knackered and air intake hose which had a tear in it...

    RE: Rough idle

    Well i checked that boot and its fine,but i had a bit of bother this morning the car would start and then stall almost immediately if i kept the revs up it would be ok but just kept dying,so i had the AA out and he found a breather pipe connected to the air Distribution piece was broke and it was sucking air and he reckons thats why its stalling..

    Heres a pic i found on the internet of where the pipe is connected, B in the pic



    So the car is out of action now until i can get it to a garage on Tuesday,anybody know if this is a big job ive been trying to find the pipe online but no joy yet
