Well, at this moment I am thinking about DIY replacing DISA motor 1 and see how it goes, and then later on replace DISA motor 2 (intake manifold needs to come off and gasket set has to be replaced when refitting). Depending on how my weekend goes, I am thinking of removing DISA 1 to have a look at it - maybe the flap has an obvious sign of being loose or prone to rattle that will confirm this for me.

There is a great DIY here: DISA Removal and Maintenance - N52 Engine (Pic Heavy)
