Hmmm http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/showthread.php?t=516107#/topics/516107?page=3 Sounds familiar but mine only does it at idle...

Morning pulled the codes before work, It has - multiple cylinder misfire Misfire cylinder 1 Misfire cylinder 2 Multiple fuel trim 2 limit reached Any ideas off that?

Did t have the reader on me will check in the morning - it will be the same bs I can guarantee if any as the light went out

Haha predictive text my friend - I think I will get a smoke test done they aren’t too much at least it will rule in/out air leak once and for all

Hi sorry not yet had house problems which I’ve taken priority. I will say this though, the engine light hasn’t been on for well over a week, misfires longer ago. This evening started from cold and was heavily misfired with a solid engine light I put in referees ot nearly stalled misfiring while...

What info are you after exactly? Low battery high idle interesting. Read the codes had a rear o2 fault which came and went that’s it now...

One bank was misfiring correct but both had mixture issues.. misfire has gone - yesterday as said it was idling so low it was stalling all day. Today the opposite it idled at 900rpm all day in park no idea what that’s telling me maf or something else. Also engine light was on this morning but by...

Well yes i did on a cheap tool, then I read them with the snap on and I was getting lean mixtures on both banks intermittently so not really sure

Well I had similar problems before and it WAS a maf but I bought a Bosch and only 18months back...

I was just mentioning to buy the orings in the pump as I seems to think it said you could reuse them but mine were bad. I also meant as I pulled the old pipe out the oring at the back I put gasket sealant on so it sealed well still although it was very tight which is good. Yes this bloody air...

I meant to o rings that go over the two pipes that go through the V... changed them and tensioned up it is a bit awkward though so only put as much tension as I could on... On the other problem.. since the water pump no engine light... I’m not suggesting for one minute they are connected, but I...

Did the pump - only thing I’d add to the diy is if youvve never taken the belt off have a spare handy, also I bought new orings - oh and obviously one of the pipes came out of the V course it did! I put gasket seal t on and pushed back. I have a bit of belt squeal atm - does the tensioner...

Hi saint I wrote a post saying thanks for the guide last night must not have submitted it - I asked two things, do I need to use gasket sealant or can I just use the new gasket as I have everything now except that. Second question I did this many moons ago on a 535 same engine and I remember...

Right - firstly I’m going to ‘try’ and man up and do the water pump - ordered a genuine one from Bmw as it was marginally cheaper with new o rings and gasket - £200!!! £30 refund on return of old unit but still! Anyway I have been trying to post since 8am I got up early and pulled coils one and...

Good question - they were full of oil about 8weeks back but no code so I changed the plugs and did the rocker covers not checked since but I’d hope they weren’t full

Oh dear looks like I have the same however I have notice the small hove off the intake boot is a bit loose will chat on my thread

About the thought to change the alt - I had this engine in a 5 series about 10years ago had done 130k at the time.. the water pump let go so I changed it then... no word of a lie the next week the alt does not sure if that was just bad luck but that’s why I asked... Looked at that post that’s...

Will look now - looking at your vid not taken the belt off but can wiggle the viscous fanside to side with the belt on is that normal?

Funny you should say that - but with my limited knowledge I though the same... plus the day that started I go the coolant low warning so a little tell tale. I’m away at the moment but told the wife to only drive the ff in emergency until I get it checked. If it is that would you do the alt while...

well they are quite old but the voltages are fluctuating ok on the tool for all 4 depending on load... don't worry can google it its a mixture issue. A possible side note or not here is a video of my engine at idle a month ago BEFORE these issues: has a weird blowing over a bottle sound but...
