'11 with idle valve failure and brake booster leak

This seems to be a continuing problem (even with the new part, unless they used an '08 part on my '11) see "fuel pump" of the N54. Car is typically driven in warm weather, but unusually cold weather caused repeated "increased emissions" warnings, until emergency management kicked-in. Oh, almost forgot, my brake master cylinder failed as well (pressure leak), seems the cold weather may have allowed preexisting conditions/defects to finally surface.

Hopefully, I won't have brake fluid fingerprints on the paint work.

I've had the increased emissions warning light come on as well. Taking the car in this Friday. About your brake master cylinder failure, what were the indications of it's failure - notifications and/or otherwise?

I had brief ABS warning a few weeks prior but the brake pedal felt ok and braking ability normal. Best of luck with your repair.

This car is so full of sensors, it seems to cause a domino effect.
