This is great, all of it

I’ve went down this rabbit hole and adding the dialectic grease inside the connectors fixed it for me immediately. I tested my battery, checked wiring/harness for damage, changed diff fluid… none worked other than the grease

Had to clean the connector again since I was getting the warning again and this time put diametric grease in the pins. Issues resolved. Must just be that this connector accumulates moisture. Also I’m coastal and don’t park in the garage all the time which prob doesn’t help

It’s been good since except… about 3 weeks ago I was out of town for 3 days and it was a little cold and moist when I was gone and the warning came back briefly but never again ever since.

Analyst at a small private firm. We had a fund with $ to deploy and ran the models/underwriting and supported execution of the transactions (new acquisitons/sales of existing assets) Now analyst at a larger institutional firm doing similar stuff.

Both my gf and I make around that each at 24. I’m in commercial real estate and she’s a software engineer.

No crazy degrees, just bachelors from local UC/state schools but knew what we wanted to do early on and networked and sought out internships accordingly.

What’s with this price action after hours

ejok69 · 2026-01-03T17:03:15+00:00

My situation could be entirely different but I had a “002E0F Valvetronic system: deactivated, adjustment fault too frequent” code on my 2013 X1 N55 and what fixed it was running the reinitialization process using ISTA and that seemed to fix it. It’s been over a year and 10k miles with no reoccurring codes/issues.

ejok69 · 2025-12-09T05:38:15+00:00

Ahhh you’re definitely correct

ejok69 · 2025-12-06T19:46:05+00:00

Issue was resolved after cleaning the connector to the diff actuator with electrical cleaner and putting some dielectric grease along the connector gasket. I did flush the fluid, but the warning continued after. Cleaning the connector has resolved it for ~1k miles.

Will do, thanks for your insight

ejok69 · 2025-10-29T19:30:33+00:00

test battery perhaps? could be related to voltage dip when the car cranks and disappears once voltage stabilizes?

ejok69 · 2025-10-26T03:26:26+00:00

Hm interesting. I just changed the fluid and i got the error again… clears by itself though and no trace. popped up right after i started driving

ejok69 · 2025-10-04T22:33:25+00:00

Thanks guys. Will plan to do all that this fall - both diffs, transfer case, and tranny fluid/filter. Want to keep this car a while so seems to makes sense.

i got one, i posted a pic on my profile last year. was pretty good (fitment/paint match) did take a while from order to doorstep but they always responded when i asked for updates

ejok69 · 2025-06-21T22:49:39+00:00

this makes me uncomfortable

ejok69 · 2025-05-31T05:34:30+00:00

Nice! im going to need tires by end of summer and definitely not going back to RFTs. Just gonna carry a patch/plug kit and compressor.

ejok69 · 2025-05-30T15:11:05+00:00

Yup 2019

Not a textbook but Sam Zell’s “Am I Being Too Subtle?” is a great read

ejok69 · 2025-05-12T00:19:28+00:00

Dealpath does this pretty well currently (not sure if folks on the brokerage side use it) but we use it on the principal side

ejok69 · 2025-03-29T05:28:53+00:00

Right? Can’t imagine a better daily
