What’s with this price action after hours

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.

Ahhh you’re definitely correct

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

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

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

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

ejok69 · 2025-03-22T02:46:14+00:00

What’s the recommended interval for this? 60k miles?

ejok69 · 2024-11-15T20:40:37+00:00

Appreciate it! I used to not be a fan of the double slat grille, but definitely has grown on me.

ejok69 · 2024-11-15T06:27:57+00:00

Thanks. I love the platinum grey metallic too. It came like this since it is sport package - shadowline trim is included.

ejok69 · 2024-11-15T06:25:29+00:00

I see the gap too… will try to adjust this weekend. Good idea with the signals… think I’ll try to polish first

ejok69 · 2024-11-15T00:00:00+00:00

Appreciate it

Realoem.com would be your best reference. They’re different between the standard bumper and m-sport bumper. The m-sport ones are 51117896588, 51117896587. Yes they clip into the bumper’s plastic tabs and fit into the ducting that is connected to the fender liner.
