  1. Hello there,

    Bit of a silly Question here

    2010 320d touring

    Are the rear discs the same size as front discs ?

    I ordered a full set of disks and pads from local stealer and rear ones were 15mm smaller ???

     

  2. Hello again

    I have a 2010 320d 91, I had an issue with the turbo actuator which I thot that I had fixed after advice from here, (thanks again)

    it turned out that I needed a new turbo, (a pin that went from turbo to actuator had sheered inside turbo,) so was advised to get a recon turbo as a repair to the original would cost about the same, new turbo fitted.... so now and then... I have a stutter and yellow engine light comes on, but only at low speeds, driving at 60-70 car is fine

    Foxwell reader shows no faults when car ignition is on but when running live data some jbe and egr faults come up then go away again could this be something to do with stuff being removed when  new turbo was fitted. ??

    CHerrs

  3. took it a 20 mile run, no light on,

    used obd reader, came up with lots of faults, guessing it was all the bits and bobs i took apart, cleared all codes

    and, its the first time i've been able to clear the boost actuator fault, and it didnt come back

    will see over the next couple of days and update post

    thanks again for your help

  4. Cheers for the replys

    engineer friend tested Alternator and said it all seemed fine, battery is only a year old and seems ok, but i have receipt in book and it has a two year warranty, so i will take car to garage and get them to test,

    disconnected plugs Actuator and cleaned connections, which looked spotless

    Is there a diy way to test Actuator ?, if not I would be as well getting a new or repaired done as garage would charge for test then charge for repair lol

    Its just a bit worrying, as I said, there are no ill effects, .......yet...... :)

  5. Cheers Dave

    I hate being a noob to a car, not got a clue with this one, had a Rangerover with a BMW 2.5 diesel engine in it, Now thats a car with faults and many of them lol

    Will give that battery thing a try, and got some good cleaner from a sparky at work, well... he said its good

    Before I go disconnecting stuff would you know if the Radio has a code, as I don't seem to have one written down anywhere in the book I have, cant help with model but it says professional on it,

    I cant clear fault, as soon as i clear it, scanner retests and its back,

    Once again

    Thanks for reply, appreciated

  6. Cheers for the Reply,

    I have a foxwell bmw/mini reader, It worked to clear all the brake warnings after I had replaced them,

    the warning light and ping is random, at first I thot it was when the car was cold, but it still happens when car is warm, but….definitely happens less on longer runs,

    I will try unplugging and reconnecting stuff at the weekend and see what I can break 😊

    Thanks again

  7. Good morning ladies and gentlepersons, I’m new to this forum But have been visiting from when I bought my 2010 320d touring,

    I have only one issue that I’m wondering if anyone can advise on,

    The Yellow engine management light comes on for about 10 seconds then goes out, this happens every 3-4 mins, there are no ill effects with car, drives like new, no power loss, no strange noises.

    My obd reader says boost pressure actuator fault, but reading the forums there always seems to be a loss of power with this,

    The car has 60k on it and hadn’t mover for 5 months before I got it, only doing 300 miles in 2 years, renewed brakes and changed oil and its running sweet

    Any Ideas ??
