Hi guys,

I am the new happy owner of a bmw X4 F26 2015 3.0d 190kw 258ps. After reading some values in ista+ I've discovered that the correction values on one of the injectors is outside the permitted limits on cylinder 2. My question is, can/should this be corrected? Or does this injector really need replacing? Please find attached the photos.

Just to mention, when doing the smooth running control test, all injectors were om green zone, the idle of car is still, no problems at all. Much appreciated https://i.postimg.cc/NfywrTrh/20250408-090502.jpg https://i.postimg.cc/JzZVpLqP/20250408-091101.jpg

Welcome to the Forum

The smooth running test tells you more, if idle is smooth and raising revs and letting them fall back doesn't upset the smooth running test all should be OK. Injector values are easy to reset but to do it you need the numbers on the top of each injector and that will need access to the injectors.

Personally if things are running well MPG and Performance where you would expect I would leave it and monitor it once a month or so

Enjoy your Beemer

Hi Dave,

It appears that my Ista+ was out of date and the idrive(ecu) software in the vehicle is running the 2018 version, therefore, reading the vehicle with the up to date remote ista from the dealership  shows there is nothing wrong with the car. It's already booked for a software update with the 2025 version

Thanks!

      X3 2.0D 2012 F25 - tailgate struts on the way out?

      Hi Gary I did the exact job for a friend of my wife, I did a search of www.realoem.com for the correct part numbers left/right then she searched Google and brought both spindle drives for £110 delivered with 2 year warranty. Changing them requires trim removal so a decent set of trim removal tools and a Torx set will be needed. I did use a garden rake with a towel wrapped around it to support the tail gate as neither of the girls could reach 😅. The rest is straight forward, though getting all the trim out of the way is fiddly the job is plug and play. Couple of good Videos on line About 21/2 hrs work with Tea and biscuits 🤣 Dave

      X3 2.0D 2012 F25 - tailgate struts on the way out?

      Hello We have a LHD X3 we use mainly from driving from UK to Greece - the tailgate lifts perfectly well but on closing it stops halfway down - it will continue and close properly with some gentle assistance on the way down. The car was MOT'd at a BMW main dealer a couple of days back, we had a free visual inspection and I asked them to investigate the issue. As per BMW the 'motors are on their way out'. Given that their quote was shall we say rather strong (I appreciate it is a quite tedious job to replace them) my question is are the rams serviceable or are they really a replacement job?

      Help with 2014 X3 RDC and TPMS

      Morning JC Look like you brought a scanner that just does TPMS systems ?? I have 2 Diagnostic scan tools (1) BMW INPA/ISTA which is the same as BMW Dealers use and (2) iCarsoft both systems will give me a code that indicates which wheel sensor is at fault or if it is the Controller. Plus of course they also read all other control units on the car. With your monitor what does the Instruction book say? does it give a list of codes and their meaning? TP sensors do fail some have batteries in them they are not expensive to buy online (Ebay, Amazon etc) the costly bit is to fit them, obviously tyres need to come off and be refitted. If it was me I would wait until tyre change time Dave

      Help with 2014 X3 RDC and TPMS

      Thanks Greydog! I have not tried the battery unplug. But I have purchased Autel TS508 to try out and it found the error below from the ODBC scan. I tried to erase the DTC from this menu and the TPM is working again until I left the car for a few hours. Does anyone know what is causing the error? Thanks!

      No boost and strange noise

      Morning Jim A Seat owned by a neighbours wife from new but only used for school run duties was completely clogged at lower miles than yours. Predictably the Dealer said new Turbo new EGR and a swathe of other parts £££, a local Diesel specialist stripped, cleaned and rebuilt everything and gave her the advice to give the car a good run at motorway speeds once a month. Years ago my son had issues with his Toyota pickup the dealer mechanic told him an "Italian Tune Up" (engine up to temp and keep revs over 2.5k for half an hour) needs doing every few weeks. As a Tree Surgeon he tended to be trundling around off road at slow speeds and low revs. With luck it's just the actuator mechanism Dave
