I've managed to find out that DDE = Digitale Diesel Elektronika - what it actually does (in English) eludes me at the moment ------------- Cats know your every thought. But don't care. |

I presume it means that bad news is imminent! A diagnosis will reveal it. ------------- Current: 2009 E60 520d "Sport" tractor Previous: 1989 E30 320i SE 1997 E39 523i 2003 E39 525i Sport Individual |

Its probably worth checking to see if there's water in the water trap on the fuel filter. I dunno if the diesel 5 series has such a thing but my Transit does so I suspect a sophisticated car may have. ------------- |

When the missus ran out of diesel, this light stayed on for about a week after. I later read in the manual that it stays on for a number of cycles. And yes it was the missus.. I was drunk in the passenger side telling her "yeah, don't worry theres loads left" oops |
