I rarely venture away from the 200 forum, not been here on the 400 forum for years and this post caught my eye.

When I had my 440Xi ( B 18U ) I had exactly the same problem at one point.
It was a very frustrating fault to cure.

I too replaced the stepper motor which didn't cure the problem - in fact I have just recovered the stepper motor box from my garage with the dismantled old stepper motor in it.
It also has the receipt in the box for the new motor ( £57.90 in 2003 ) - and the part number on the receipt.

On the receipt it says STEPPER MOTOR 0 132 008 600 ( This is the part number on the motor body too ).

But on the BOSCH box it has a different number 3 437 010 524-000
The box also has some more numbers on the Bosch label 192 087925

From memory, the actual fault turned out to be an intermittent connection on the main loom connector where the stepper motor plugs into it - I opened the connector and soldered it - cured. I figured that the flexing of the engine was disturbing the connection.

Hope this helps - Colin.

BTW Heather - I see you are in Bolton - I don't think there can be many B18U's in Bolton and the lady ( Heather I think it was ) that bought mine ( K***BND ) in 2006 was from Bolton.
Does hotelchocolate mean anything to you?
