First of all Jack thanks for a great weekend, I had a great time, and got to see much of Vienna, and met some very nice people from this forum.

Many may have noticed the black car at the end of ther row of cars with a lot of people working in the engine compartment.
I did have trouble with my car when I came to Vienna, but thanks to the effort of the forum expertice "on site" a lot of troubleshooting was done.

A special thanks to everyone who got their hands dirty trying to fix my car Saturday and Sunday evening, there was too many for me to remember, so I choose not to mention names in case I forget someone.

It turned ot to be a broken MAF sensor, and this proved to be hard to get in Vienna, or in Hamburg, where we was taking the car train to on Monday evening.

Richard aka Smileitsme offered me to borrow his, but he was in Linz, so after spending a few hours on Monday trying to get a new one from BMW, Jack was kind enough to borrow me one from his car.
So we got in the car, went to see Jack, and took a MAF from his car.
Now this is anopther great example of how great this community is, Jack immobilized his car so that I could get home.
Jacks MAF was installed in my car, which fired right up and ran smoother at idle than I can remember the car has ran for a long time, so I guess this MAF has been going bad for a while.

I made it home without any issues, and Jacks MAF is now in the mail back to him.
So another big thanks to Jack for taking parts of his car to let me make the journey home.

Now I guess we know why it had some intermittent idle issues when you visited me here in Kaarst.
I still don't understand why DIS won't communicate with the Motronic units though.
