1. Rough idle after idling for a longer period of time 2. Vehicle feels like it is misfiring at idle The automatic Start/Stop function is deactivated. The vehicle is stopped and the engine runs at idle speed. After prolonged idle operation (approximately 30 to 50 seconds), a slight jolt or slight change in idlespeed may be noticeable. There are no relevant errors in the DME fault code memory. No mixture control error, no misfiring, no error relating to a relevant component of the drive system. Motor vehicles affected: 1. Only MHEVs (mild hybrid electric vehicle) with crankshaft-driven starter generator. 2. Only vehicles with optional equipment 01CE = recuperation system 3. Affected I-levels: I-level 24-07-500 or higher
In these vehicles with an S68 engine, an incorrect diagnosis of the Valvetronic (VVT) may occur.
