peake fault code analysis

[thto]

Hi All

I am having some intermittent starting problems with my diesel x5 (2001).
Starts on the button every morning rain or shine, or whenever has not run for several hours.

At other times it can be problematic, sometimes taking 5-10 minutes to start after cranking every minute or so.

when driving, it is sweet and no lumpy idling.


I purchased a peake code reader and for those familiar with them, this is what I found.

From 'fc' (fault check mode) press 'go' and reader shows '52' then 'c' then 'ie' then '25' then returns to '--' (which I believe means no more codes found).

I understand this to be a code of ie25.

I cannot find this code anywhere in the accompanying peake booklet, do I need to convert it?

I suspect the starting issue is heat related on a resistor type / sensor item as when cold the car starts like a dream. Only when warm and used several times in the day do I get the problem.

Anyone help?

Thanks
