Injector adjustment

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2010 BMW X6, 2009 BMW X6, and 2008 BMW X6. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

If the DME control unit has been replaced, it will also be necessary to carry out adjustment of the injectors!

Injector adjustment is carried out with the aid of so-called adjustment values.

The adjustment values are printed in two blocks of three digits on each injector.

The adjustment values must be stored in the new control unit!
