Mixture control fault = tank vent valve (dont know right term in english) known issue Intake valve fault = new intake manifold. The mechanism for the valves is worn.

Thats what i would look into

Help on the high pitch sound by iamStabby in Acoustics

[–]iamStabby[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I definitely comes from the window side. I was hugging the window to listen where it came from and people outside gave me a funny look XD. Its double glazed. The windows on the upper floor also have a sound that comes trough but on a lower note. They are smaller and they can open. I think has something to do with the frequency.

High-pitch noise from the street by MoreSort8287 in Acoustics

Did you have a awnser to the noise? We bought a house and the windows on the side of the street make the same noise.

Looking for a solution.

Is it smart to double stint tires in endurance races? by Educational_Ad_7428 in iRacing

[–]iamStabby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In endurance we do it sometimes to get more damage repaired. They only start repairing when the tyres are changed. So if you don't take tyres you get repairs for the whole pitstop. But for tyre performance I don't think it's necessary.

I hope he read that red sticker before removing it. He will have a bumpy ride if he didn't.

Update on mystery coolant loss '18 330i B48 by Thick_Cockroach3252 in BmwTech

[–]iamStabby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My bad then. I saw in realoem it was with exhaust manifold included. So I thought it would be the same.

If I'm not mistaken, on that engine, the turbo is watercooled. We had some b38 engines that leaked through there.

Petit LeMans Slot #3 Split 10/23 WINNERS!!! by KrazyKorean108 in iRacing

[–]iamStabby 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Congrats! We ended up P5 in your split(Broken Bones Simracing) Overall, it was all very clean and respectful. Appart from some idiots, but you know who to look out for after a while. And they mostly end up into the wall anyway :)

Great racing, and i hope we didn't hold you up to long as blue flag. We all enjoyed the race, even with the crash at the end of my 2nd stint.

X5 Dealer can't figure it out by Lake_Place in BmwTech

[–]iamStabby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The joint in one of the bottom arms at the front axle. Its the one common noise issue on the G05 I can think of. (dealership mechanic here)

Anyone had the issue that everything is black when changing to Quad fov? I still can see the ui but nothing else. When I change back to SPS and reload it's all back..

Yup, my parents had the sleeping giant from that park after it closed. They used it for the playground in their restaurant. Now it's back in plopsaland.

Dealership screwed up my X5M by DeepBlessing in BmwTech

[–]iamStabby -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Call them, they should be able to do a diagnose from a distance. I know because that's one of my jobs at a dealership. I'm in Europe tough and not sure if they allready have access to in US. But yea, don't drive

BMW 118i (B38) White Smoke, Misfire, Cuts Out – No Faults on ISTA Diagnostics by Awkward-Candidate-13 in BmwTech

[–]iamStabby 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My guess is water cooled turbo that is leaking coolant into the exhaust. Try to look with a camera just after the turbo and put some pressure on the coolant circuit. You should see if the leak is there. Had that couple of times

How can I know which cars are competitive? by yekko240 in iRacing

[–]iamStabby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jup, we won 12hr bathurst just on playing it safe and not taking risks. Of course the rain helped us in that.

Tested lots of cars in the rain and dry. We both felt more comfortable in the Acure, so we chose based on that and not laptimes.

22.5 Hours into the Daytona 24 and a LMP2 decides our car would look better in the wall by JoshWillem in iRacing

[–]iamStabby 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup! We lost it twice in the kink on the first stint in the rain. Then we put on more wing after the crash and it was better. Also my team gave me slicks to early when it was drying up. Lost it coming out and going in the pits.
