EWG codes and drivetrain malfunction
Hey everyone
I’ve run into a problem with my 14 335i. I get drive train malfunction and a rattle that on start up is very noticeable but when the car gets to running temperature it’s barely audible. The codes are
123432 - electric wastegate, learning limit stop: wastegate closed, outside tolerance
123401-Electric wastegate, learning limit position, cold start :malfunction
120408 - charging pressure control, deactivation, pressure buildup blocked
So I assumed it was wastegate rattle, did some research and looked into it with ISTA and found the wastegate was at -2.88mm
Took it to a mechanic and we attempted to adjust the wastegate linkage but the reading never changed from -2.88; which could just be me not being familiar with ISTA process’s. We did some more research and found that these faults can happen with a bad wiring harness (engine system module 1 wiring harness…I think)
There is clear lack of boost with the malfunction but sometimes the malfunction doesn’t happen and it drives just fine, still with the rattle though.
So my question is, has anyone had to adjust their ewg linkage? It seemed self explanatory but someone with experience giving a breakdown would be sweet. Also has anyone had a wiring harness issue? The intermittent malfunctions seem like an electronic problem but who knows.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
