Can anybody tell me what the "EDK" is? My 2002 MCS has been in the shop for the last week after quite a bit of stalling and rough idle. The dealer has told me that they are waiting on delivery of a new "EDK" control unit. Evidently, this part is being sourced from England, and it's taking a while to get.

Not that I'm complaining too much, as the dealer has provided me a 2003 Z4 to drive in the mean time. Just curious as to what the part actually is.

Any help would be appreciated!

 

Electronic Throttle Control ("EDK" is from the German words). Your throttle body.

 

This PDF document for an M54 says it's an "Electronic Throttle Control"

What are the German words? According to Babelfish, Electronic Throttle Control translates to:

elektronischer Leistungshebel

I don't see how that ends up abbrieviated to EDK. I'm also sure that Babelfish is not the "reference" in English->German translation.

I tried "Electronic Throttle Body" and got:

elektronischer Drosselkörper

which looks more likely for EDK. Is that the right translation?

Elektronischer Drosselkörper was installed today, I'm back on the road. It will be a while before I'm satisfied that this has fixed the problem though.
