Hi Guys

I tried searching but cant seem to get the search function to work.

On motorway today and got 2 warning lights accompanied with the radio not working. Book says lights are dtc problem and no puncture warning system (which is tied in to the dtc i know) Car runs well with no issues. Turn off and on and it all resets but comes back intermittently.

I had the ecu remapped saturday. Could it be due to that or just a coincidence.

Any help gratefully received thanks.

Not a coincidence with remaps matey... Has to be connected to OBDII to re-program the map in situe, sometimes a default map is used then the timings-fueling-spooling times are added to that map often not including updating the vehicles' variant settings like cruise, security, auto-windows etc...

Took it back and he reset it and said its normal and sometimes plays up but will sort itself out. Hasn't come back yet so will keep fingers crossed.

It could just be the car actually in "Learning" mode to adapt to your driving style etc... BUT...

That remap should not touch entertainment systems unless they had their own map to use, making their map overwrite yours!!

The thing is, if everything worked fine before then their mapping has caused your issue(s) ;)

      218d 2017 ACTIVE TOURER CENTRE REAR TAILGATE BRAKE LIGHT

      Hope you guys can help me with this troublesome query.. how the heck do you get direct access to this light, so you can remove it via it's 3 fixing screws? I've got the replacement light for the existing broken one, but I just don't know and can't find out what to remove to do this? Surely someone out there has done this? I live in hope.

      Collision Avoidance System

      Thank you for your response Dave, I have been to BMW Dealer but all they say computer indicates 'no faults' although I had frequent warnings saying system was restricted. They refuse to road test it saying it is dangerous to road test which I dispute as the system should give a visual warning at 8 car lengths and low speeds. I suggested to test it against another BMW with the same system but again they will not. If I have it on the most sensitive setting and get no warnings what is the point of the less sensitive settings. Lots of unanswered questions with this system?

      Engine running weird when hot

      Morning Billy You need a diagnostic session to narrow things down, at 161k I would also carry out a compression test and check fuel delivery and pressure. Your symptoms could be an accumulation of things or as simple as a dying throttle body diagnostics will help Dave

      BMW X1 Fuel sensor failure.

      Hello. If you own or use a BMW with a diesel engine, manufactured since 2006, a faulty fuel line with an integrated temperature sensor is most likely installed in the engine compartment of your car. This sensor becomes unsealed and injects fuel through the electrical wires via the plug, as a result of which the entire installation (harness), controllers (including turbines) and the ECU (computer) are damaged. Failure may occur after approximately 40,000 km. The costs associated with purchasing the above-mentioned parts amount on average to 4000 euro or more + service, but this repair does not solve the problem because the new temperature sensor still has the same defect. Below are some links to videos in which mechanics describe this problem. I have developed an effective protection that prevents fuel from entering despite a faulty sensor, which permanently solves the problem.
