hi,i noticed that ever since i got my beema,the battery likes to die on occasion and today i found out why! even when i turn the ignition off i can still hear the idle valve buzzing,i tried a spare but it was the same,i checked the voltage to the plug for it and its 8 volts on one pin,12 on the middle and 2.5 ish on the other. any ideas on what could be causing this? i will have to unplug the ecu each time i stop fr a while until i sort it,ive trie another ecu too!!
Cheers

Try pulling the relays under the black cover on the passenger side inner wing and see if the buzzing stops. if it does then that relay could be stuck on or could still have a feed holding it on, let me know what happens and i'm sure we can muddle through it!! have we had this conversation before or am i losing my grip
, ihope this helps, john
