rock

couldnt help me im afraid

hi lads,

my intermittent battery light and splutter turned out to be a crank case sensor and squashed breather pipe!

still all done and i had a lambda sensor replaced while i was there and got relieved of 400 quid for the trouble.

Got quoted 800 at bmw for the same job so it took the sting out of it a little.

thanks for the feedback on the complaint i had and if you all manage to get a split second misfire and a battery light on for a flash it will be the crank sensor

just enjoy owning the beast, just look at the badge on the wheel and smile . who needs speed your in a beemer lol :D

glad to hear it me too!!

had a few teething probs but after 20 years of xr2 3 and 4s having your first bmw says it all, bet you smile as you see that fantastic badge on the wheel !! i do and had mine 5years !!

enjoy it mate !!

hi i had same light on mine once , i disconnected the battery for half hour and that sorted mine out seems this has happened to a few people try that hope it helps you

Is there any meetings in the warrington area ?

i had cut out probs too, just cost me 400 dabs for crank sensor fitted and lambda sensor , i thought it was fuel at first but heh beemers ! just love em

has anybody any ideas on my bmw prob?

maybe once every 2 days for a split second the engine coughs for a milli second and a quick flash of the battery light, as i said for a milli second.

does not happen on tick over and yesterday had the beast on the diagnostic computer at the garage i use but it showed no prblems ?

machanic was stumped on this problem and thinks it may be a 400 quid repair replacing crank sensor and cam sensor..

has anybody any idea what it may be bmw 316ti 2003

thanks

paul :mellow:
