At no point did I say the ideas were silly, nor did I say that people were throwing them out there blindly. You need to read my post again. Perhaps your English is not as good as it should be, or it may just be the fact you have a chip on your shoulder and are reading what you want to read? I don't know and quite frankly I don't care. Just get your facts right in future when quoting someone, thats all.
Also, you will note that the ACTUAL problem was found by the mechanic, and not by your ideas of check this hose and check that hose. So it being 'proven' isn't strictly true is it? It would need to have been the area you were suggesting to try. It wasn't, was it.
Oh, and you having to point out that you feel you solved it or played any part of the problem being resolved-like it was your idea all along that is was a hose because it was 'vacuum related'-hahahaaaaa  (on a turbo engine-geez, ya think?!!) is a sad testament to your small mind. Dear god!  As it happens the problem was a mile away from where you were saying to check. But there you go. You carry on in your own little world sunshine.

Not trying to discredit you!You do a pretty good job of that yourself.
As well as this and because of your lack of technical knowledge,your only arguments are personal attacks,yet AGAIN!!
If you had any knowledge of turbo-diesel engines and their vaccum control systems,you wouldnt even have put in your last post and make a complete a** of yourself again.
My facts are right!You did suggest to the OP to see a Diesel specialist and I did read your post correctly when you said people here were throwing ideas out and he is just trying them blindly,so you better read your post again so you remember what you wrote.
Agree!The actual problem was found by the mechanic,and what did he find?He found a disconnected vaccum pipe on a solenoid!
Do you know what this means?It means that from as early as post #5,from X5 Sport,the "ideas the guys were throwing out" ,were right on the money,as the problem was in fact vacuum related.I advised the OP to check all the vac pipes....The whole vac system,not just the easily accessible.
The actual location of the problem was found by his mechanic,but what he found was exactly what the guys first suggested,as being vacuum related.
Now thats sorted ,explain this comment your made?Yes..vacuum on a turbo engine......
