Just change the batteries to start with as it's cheap and easy to do. No point scratching your head about programming if you don't know that the batteries are any good?

      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
