Hi there. I'm having a few issues with my 255k mile E60 520d with the M47 lump.

Yesterday it was running fine (as fine as it can), normal use, I do have the fault code 004687 for throttle, I got a new Pierburg throttle body but haven't fitted it yet.


Anyway. I went to start it up this morning to take a mate to pick his S5 up, and it started well, but immediately cut off a few seconds later. No warning lights or anything. No response from the throttle either while it was running. Very confused.

I did have errors for glow plugs in cylinders 1 and 4 last night which I cleared. I'll scan the car now and list any error codes I have that are new.


Here they are:

1. 004030 - Exhaust gas temp. sensor upstream of the catalyst, signal.
   
2. 004212 - Glow plug cylinder 1, control
   
3. 004242 - Glow plug cylinder 4, control
   
4. 004687 - Throttle
   

I'll try replacing all of the glow plugs, but the "control" aspect has confused me.


Any help/insight would be appreciated. I've used the ole search function but I can't seem to find anything specific to my issue.


Thanks

Charlie
