1.4/1.6 Cold Idle Problem ?



  BMW M135i
When I first had the car I noticed that when starting it from cold it wouldn't run the cold high idle instead it went to the normal warm idle which although not a major problem is hardly ideal. It would run the cold start mixture as you can smell it.

Back when the stealers weren't being arseholes with my warrenty (tossers but another issue) I had the throttle body replaced in May this year and all was fine until the last few weels where the exact same problem has come back again.

Now whilst it is booked in for them to look at it I get the distinct feeling that they are going to make me pay for this in one way or another.

Now from a post I made when I originally had the problem it seemed I wasn't alone in it, so what i'm asking has anyone sorted it out without replacing the body as it seems strange that a new one has died 6 months down the line ?

Hey I have the same prob but when i took mine the stealers they cleaned it instead (too tight to replace it) and it solved it for about 5 months.

Yeh, that was my theory on why it does it but I never bothered cleaning it. Might give it a go and see what happens.
