Where does the mpg gauge on my 96 316i get the information from? mine doesn't appear to be working, when I turn the ignition on the needle moves right across to one side never to be seen again.

It generally gets its info from ECU Mixture Control and Vac sensors... Is everything working fine in the dash?

I would have a close look at the Vacuum pipes and induction pipes too... If all is not torn/leaking and tight then it has to be a sensor !

      Z4 5 speed auto transmission problem

      Recently acquired a 2.2ltr 2005 Z4 at a price which I could not resist if though it had little or no drive through the transmission. Diagnosed a fluid leak so off came the sump, changed the fluid filter, fitted a new gasket and a new transmission seal to the output shaft put it back in only to find a pool of fluid on the garage floor the next day. My only thoughts now are that the fluid pump may be leaking so I should change the gasket on this as well? Anyone else encountered this problem before? I welcome any advice/suggestions as to how to fix this issue.

      Oil leak from turbo outlet flange (B47, 320d G21)

      Hi everyone, I’ve noticed an oil leak coming from the turbine outlet flange area on my BMW 320d xDrive G21 (2019, B47 engine). The oil seems to be coming from the joint between the turbocharger and the downpipe. Has anyone had a similar experience? Any help or experience with a similar issue would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

      DPF Cleaning fluid

      Thanks guys, I'm going to give it the beans a bit tomorrow and see how that goes. I'm trying to get into the secret menu just to get an idea if it does a regeneration while I'm driving it hard. I will let you know how it goes. Thanks Paneuro.

      ECU Testing & Repair Recommenadations Wilts Area

      Hi there just thought I would give you an update regarding my ecu. I sent it to ecutesting as recommended unfortunately they couldn't do anything with it as they said that that they didn't have equipement or tech old enough to test it with lol. They were very apologetic and sent it back to me. Additionally they didn't know of anywhere else I could send it to for testing but of the checks they did do they didn't find anything untoward. So it looks like I will have to find somewhere else or risk buying a second part either way a little bit frustrating.
