westy 614 Report post Posted May 15, 2014 No. it's to solve the issue i had where the car after hot fast running would stall out when coasting occasionally. Research eventually put it down to fuel, since I replaced the fuel filter a couple of months back this was next on the list. Care to elaborate further?

M5V8 337 Report post Posted May 15, 2014 Care to elaborate further? Not much more to elaborate. Only when I'd been on the open road driving for abit. Crusing upto a red light or something I tend to coast up. As I slowed I would pop it into neutral and as the revs dropped the car would stall out. Hit the ignition and she would fire right up. Wife had a ball with the old "you stalled it!" laughing away. But I knew I didn't do anything wrong. It was ever so occasional. Then became more frequent, maybe once every few trips. So I did some research. cam up with this. http://www.m5board.com/vbulletin/e39-m5-e52-z8-discussion/60306-ideas-engine-cutting-out-2.html Since ive done fuel filter the pump was the next logical step.

BreakMyWindow 1874 Report post Posted May 15, 2014 Well for everyone on this forum's enjoyment. I'm on a refresh program to get the car upto scratch to get the best results from a custom tune. I'm thinking confirmation with before & after dyno runs to confirm everything. Dyno results speak for themselves. Be careful with dyno's. You need optimal IAT and KTMP temperatures amongst other things to show the true output of teh S62 on a dyno. A tuner may take the lowest power output run pre-tune, and take the highest output run post tune, and lead you to believe you've gained 40rwkw. The Evolve guys in the UK are highly regarded for not doing this, and everyone seems to be happy with the results, in particular the Alpha-N power tune. I've contemplated going via Gavin, but am leaning towards Evolve as they have a deal on atm - Just a pain that they make you pay 200usd for their special cable, which i'm pretty sure I already have to do diagnostics and coding.

KwS 2425 Report post Posted May 16, 2014 Looked longingly at it. Itching for tomorrow so i can start my two days of driving it again. Never had a "weekend" car before, and im damned if its not making me enjoy the car more by not driving it daily in rush hour traffic. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Had to go with clear :’( Weirdest hing is that I adjust the miroor EVERYtime I use the car, because the Mrs usually uses it. This time, I was taking off the dash cam, and just bumped it - fell straight off! The stuff we put up with, just because some german decided attaching it to the roof wasn't fancy enough.
