Can I drive with a faulty valvetronic shaft sensor?
Posted: Thu Mar 16, 2023 3:12 pm
Hi folks,
My e89 23i has developed a hesitation on acceleration. Code pointed to the valvetronic eccentric shaft sensor and mechanic confirmed. I can get a part but I have to drive circa 450 miles in the next few days for work before we can get a part and fit it. Is it safe to drive on the motorway for that kind of distance? I'm aware fuel economy will suck but the alternative is trying to hire a car which adds a fair chunk of expense.
Thanks.
