Hi Everyone. This forum has been a great help already. have an issue with 3 series 2005 1.8 i ES when turning at roundabouts the car looses power and sort of misfires. I have looked ones it up and I think it’s a traction control issue , to do with ABS sensors. I got a friend to plug the car in but no ABS sensor fault is showing ? is it because the car is to old to show these issues ? how do I know which sensor it is ? There seem to be 4 of them 2 front and 2 back Any info or guidance on this would be extremely helpful. Trying to get my sons car back on the road asap. thanks a lot steve

Hi. Thanks a lot for that information. Really appreciated. I know exactly what car it is now and have ordered Lambda sensors and tools to change. Another issue I have is when turning on roundabouts the car looses power and sort of misfires. I have looked it up and it’s states Abs sensor fault. I got the garage to plug it in for me but no Abs sensor fault is showing ? How do I find out what sensor is at fault ? Iam struggling with this car. I want. My son to keep it as the engine is good and it’s just passed an MOT. BUT LOADS OF LITTLE COMPLEX ISSUES KEEP CROPPING UP 🤦. Any info would be greatly appreciated. steve

Hi , Thanks for looking at this question. MY son has the above car, it was first registered 08/10/2005. I have been told the Lambda sensors are bad, but i am having trouble finding out exactly what i need to order. I am going round in circles trying to find out if the car is E46 or E90. I think there are 2 sensors needed one pre cat and one after cat ? when i look this up there are so many different options.? iam totally lost with it. Could anyone tell me the following. 1, is the car E46 or E90? 2, what are the sensors thai need to orderand what are the numbers that confirm this ? 3, is the tool used to change then a 22mm Lambda sensor socket ? Any info would really help me, Thanks steve
