Engline light + sputter + hissing + irregular idle -HELP!!

Hello everybody and sorry for my silence as I wanted to report back when I resolve the problem. Unfortunately, I found the problem the hard way, unlike the dealer that just didnt know s**t. My DISA flew apart during highway driving and was probably the source of all this. Hope that none of its parts flew into the engine since it took me a while to notice by the fluctuationg idle again. I immediately pulled the still drivable car to the station, shut it off and after a succesfull start up which resulted in the idle jumping again inspected the engine - thus I noticed the DISA. I shut off imidiatelly and called a tow to the dealer. Let this be a warning to everyone who ignores the DISA maitenance. The cash I spent taking it to the dealer could have bought me a new one.

it will most likely be an air leak either at the crankcase breather (cracked - more likely) or the inlet pipe leading to the idle air control valve has ripped (less likely)
 
Dealer called today and said the engine is ok, no missfires and codes. I hope everything is OK and the powerloss is history... the DISA came apart, I helt the pieces in my hand. For a change, the ABS light is now on...whoopeee, any ideas? Can this be related to the brake fluid I forgot to change?? :o
