I have a bmw 1 series 116i 2012 plate with 91k on the clock ive notice lately there is a slight miss fire / jerking when driving when cold but there is no codes showing for this. also ive notice the fuel consumption is creeping up a little even when driving in eco mode it says im doing 33.5mpg but doesn't seem right to me or maybe im over thinking the mpg a little, I was using a lot of oil at one point but I changed the oil and put some in from bmw and its been alright since fingers crossed
any suggestions on what to check and were to start I have some knowledge of mechiancs but not in a great technical detail
many thanks ADAM -

hi all sorry just replied
I've managed to fix the coolant leak it was a silly connector that was leaking.
im still loosing a bit of oil the turbo doesn't seem to be passing and also there are no visible leaks anywhere and also I have no smoke , also check the valve stem seals by leaving to get very warm tkin over and revving and no white smoke either, im wondering if it could be a carbon build up ? as the car feels a little slow sometimes and also fuel consumption as gone up a little and there's a bit of a chemical smell when u take the oil filler cap of
cheers adam

hi all
ive got a BMW 116 I 2012
ive noticed past few weeks im loosing coolant, and also putting about 1 liter of oil in a week now and sometimes when cold and wet its a bit spluttery / gutless on start up , also there is a little bit of black soot appearing on the tail pipe, but no signs of smeg in the coolant or the oil, ive changed the thermosat housing at the back of engine as that was leaking,
any suggestions would be much appreciated
