Throttle issues

hi all

I’m having probs with a 320d e90.
The warning circle with the triangle and ! Come up quite regularly and I lose acceleration.
Looked it up and it says traction control but this does not appear right as have to lift off and accelerate again.

Any ideas????

 

Hi and welcome to the Helpdesk

 

This one?

 

That’s it

 

Under normal driving? Or when you're about to spin up the tyres, in which case that's working as it should

 

Normal driving

 

I'd guess at reluctor rings.

 

My thoughts exactly.

 

ABS reluctor ring?

 

Yes, had the TC light appear on my wife's car once, the rings were knackered.

New sensors too if they've come into contact with the rings

 

Sounds expensive

 

Depends on your definition of 'expensive'. Third item here [unless Ed can match/beat it], plus your time or Indy labour.

For fitting, see here Cooksongold.com

Not sure if you need 2, but Ed's reply would indicate plural.

 

Best to read codes should tell you which wheel has the issue - is just as likely to be the ABS sensor as the rings, wheel off and an inspection should confirm or rule out the ring.

 

Given the thread is over 3 years old I'm sure the rings have either been replaced or have rusted through.

 

Weird this post came up in my alerts, should have looked at the date.....doh!
