Hi thought id share this one with you . I recently had a few problems with car starting , now when i say starting more lack of starting . First happened outside wifes work key in ignition nothing just flat as pancake left it whilst looking under hood tried again , and away it went we got home . Fine for couple weeks then bam happened again in tesco car park unhappy called mate for a lift home . 20 mins in tried car again bam started no probs . Took it to mates garage he thought it was a faulty fob signal etc . Anyway car fine for few days until taking kids to zoo . Overtaking a car at 60 mph suddenly lost power and got fuel injection fault on dash car went into some sort of mode till it packed in on the kerb . Luckily i wasnt to far from home so pal towed me home . Now key fob was not the problem or my fuel injectors they were fine it turned out to be one of my fuel pumps had packed in . Now bmw said it was injectors and it was going to cost a hat full of cash but with having pal in buisness he confirmed this not to be the case and it was fuel pump so i thought id share this with you for future reference so to speak

      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. If you are interested, please contact me by e-mail for more details: [email protected] Product made in Poland YouTube Links: https://youtu.be/5za5VP0wqkQ?si=jR9S4GCRW6gn7XOU https://youtu.be/kVobw7st0H0?si=aS2ZO6ab1jAWgSI- English: https://youtu.be/aR4rDtD7h7c?si=ze-BBAmBhpH7qwrM

      Engine running weird when hot

      Hello everyone, got a 116i m sport n43b20a. Had it for about 3 months and soon after buying noticed a wierd problem. When cold the car would run perfectly, however when warm or stuck in traffic you could feel it become a little bit rough, sort of a banging feel from the engine which you can feel through the car. When doing this, when driving it runs perfectly. However when you attempt to pull away, the car will drop to around 400rpm and pull away a bit bouncy, having to give it more accelerator to prevent it from stalling, whenever in reverse it does this and normally leads to stalling. Over the last 3 months it hasn’t gotten worse but it does the pulling away thing when it is cold now. Had a service >1k miles ago with plugs. Also had it smoke tested and no signs of any leaks. Does anyone have any advice or had a similar story? Cars on 161k Thanks
