Hi,

I have a BMW 1 series 118i petrol and have just noticed that it looks like something has been removed from the engine compartment but can't seem to find an answer on the WEB.

Any advise?

Thanks DMW.

Would this effect power? Would it have been removed as part of a recall? Its an 05 plate but has spent most of its life parked or short trip as its on just done 20k miles (genuine) from new from a BMW dealer in Croydon.

Seems odd that it looks to have had something there and now its not. Unless they have used it as a donor part for another car and

by-passed my one. :blink:

this engine is fitted to e46 as well and i just checked in the work shop book i have.

i think it should be fitted to your model because if bmw had removed it they would not have left the bracket behind.

on performance it should have no effect, but it is to make the cats heat up faster, so with it not fitted can it damage the cats?

ok just read in the manual for the e46 "the system is only actice during cold starts (up to 33c coolant tem) and only operates for 2 minutes"

so should be ok

Ok Thanks for your info DMW.

I will have a word with the garage where I got it from. They're pretty good so hopefully, as I've just got it, they should be able to sort it for me.

Thanks again.

      Low Oil Pressure Light on E90

      ***OIL PRESSURE WARNING SOLVED***BMW E90 with same issue. Intermittent Oil Pressure Warning light for around a year. No performance issues or strange noises.Started when slowing down coming off highway and then progressed to when driving around town as well.Tried a can of Wynn's Super Charge Oil Treatment and after a few days light stopped coming on around town but still after highway driving. Bought another can and poured that in and six months later no warning lights. Guessing will have to do this again after next oil change but so far so good. Car running and sounding better also.

      Can a VIN decoder really help me check a car’s history?

      Hi David Welcome to the Forum A Vin decoder is a useful tool as it lets you know what was on the original cars build sheet but that only tells you what toys it should have. As its a 2021 car it will have had one MOT which hopefully is clear of any advisories, you can check recall and MOT at www.gov.uk/check-mot-history Next check all tyres are correct and in good condition odd or mismatched tyres can cause havoc with Transfer cases Transmissions and diffs. The rest is History History History plus making sure everything works as it should Good Luck Dave

      Can a VIN decoder really help me check a car’s history?

      Hey everyone, I’m thinking about buying a 2021 BMW X3 and want to make sure I’m covering all my bases before making a decision. I’ve heard about VIN decoders and how they can give you details about a car, but I’m not sure what kind of info they actually provide. Do they show anything useful, like accident history or open recalls? Or are they just for basic specs? If you’ve used one that worked well, I’d love to hear about it and any tips for getting the most out of it. Thanks so much!
