E90 Engine / Traction Control Problem
Discussion
Mate at work has a 320i manual - below average mileage and not abused. He has just had a repeat of a problem where the traction control warning light comes on and the performance tails off (in varying degrees). It isn't showing any error when its plugged in.
The first time around it got progressively worse and eventually it was decided that a traction control valve motor was at fault and replaced. That was only a month ago. It starts when the car is warmed through - initially you will get a bit of judder, but as the fault gets worse you end up in limp home. A lot of his journeys are short so the car never gets warm - buts its caught him out on weekends. Last time around it was noted that the things were 'glowing a bit hot' around the affected wheel.
The fact its happened again so soon, and it is not producing errors, is a concern. Has anyone else had the same, or have any ideas to throw in ? Anything much appreciated and if you need something specific to help just let me know.
