Spoke with dealer and Friday they will service all the modules - hopefully
Please keep us informed about results - especially interested to find out what exactly dealer does to restore the configuration.
So. I went to the dealer and explained my adventure. He told me that clearing all adaptation is a HEALTHY process fot the car from time to time and he is even recommending this process as the car indeed learn its values during driving cicle. So he plugged the ids and after uploading all the calibration updates he cleared the learned values also. He asked me to join him on a ride and i jumped in passenger seat holding the laptop for him. He stared a cycle of learning WHICH IS VERY STRICT ,not just a random driving. I red all the info on the learning process page since the laptop wasin my hands....
Read carrefully:
1.3rd 4th 5th or 6 gear
2.Over 40 km/h
3.Deceleration repeatedly from 2500rpm to 1500rpm for 20 km (we ended sooner)
I asked him to let me take a picture with the page he was on and he refused me. He told me to write down the 3 steps above but no pic...☺
There were several stages he must complete to have all the injectors learned - initially all 4 were red with a big 0 on. During the cycle each injector changed the 0 value to other value (3 4 5...don't remember) till finally reached 7 and turned green. Learning complete. He repeated this cycle until all 4 were on 7 and turned to green.
So guys if don't have an IDS clear /reset those adaptations and do EXACTELY as described above , as the learning is only applying when decelerate. He eplained that to me. He told me that the car was better after learning performed by me but not best because i didn't follow the procedure.
I asked him how can i do it myself next time and he told me that without IDS i will not know when the process is complete. Then i asked him what if i'm driving for 30 min as he did (2500 to 1500 and back to 2500 and back to 1500 and so on) and he smiled telling me that YES if you do that you will learn the values correctly for sure because the learning process took about 10- 15min to complete. With other words without IDS just to be on the safe side make it double...30 min up and down and the learning will complete.
Hope the above helps you. Clear all adaptation IS A SAFE process and i would love to see it back. Delaer told me that he personally will clear adaptations each 50-60k km but a must at 100k.
I have my silent car back ,there is no loud rattle at all and fuel consumption back to where it was (if not better)
Cheers
