Glow plug and lambda sensor error on BMW E60 53DA | BMW

Hello, I drive a BMW E60 53DA, built in 2005. I am getting the error "Glow plug cylinder 5" and "Lambda sensor". All glow plugs are new from Bosch, lambda sensor also from Bosch. I also installed a replica glow plug control unit, which caused 4 glow plugs to fail at once, then I installed a used original, which was quiet until now. Now for 3 days I have had glow plug 5 error and lambda sensor error, what could it be? Thanks

Lambda sensor was dirty, I cleaned it with grill cleaner and it's been fine since.

    New original control unit and also measure the current consumption of the glow plugs again. Then another attempt with the lambda probe!!

    Buy the glow plug control unit as a kit together with the glow plugs, matched OE kits are good or Beru kits are also good.

    Then it will work.

    Only then come back to the lambda sensor error, if it still exists.

    What are the error codes?

    Hello, the fault memory only shows the 2 errors and sporadic errors in the battery circuit.

    What are the error codes and the designation vehicle data key numbers + chassis number

    Check resistance! And only use good ones. Is the engine running OK?

    Will install the original ECU; engine runs OK until it warms up. Afterwards, RPM fluctuations, slight, and when I turn on the turn signal or something else, they fluctuate more, as if it were getting less power.
