Hello everybody I am new to this forum and actually new to the BMW family after selling.my jeep Cherokee. 

 

Anyway I've only recently bought the car this week and noticed a rattle on the passenger side front foot well area. I've had the vehicle checked at kwik fit today and no issues with the exhaust and nothing seems lose underneath. The X3 is 2015 model with 21000 miles on the clock full service history and recent MOT.

 

For the love of me i cant find the noise. Any suggestions. The kwik fit fitter examined the engine and only noticed that above alternator there was excessive blown air when revving mot sure if this is natural I thought it might be due to fan on the alternator running faster when accelerator pushed. 

 

Anyway any suggestions greatly appreciated

Hi Mark

Good catch with the fuel line you can do without that snagging something!! 

"This Forum seems very unused and quite" ???

      X3 2.0 automatic

      hi , I had very similar problem a while back, and after a lot of testing with vista, it turned out to be a front R/H wheel , speed/wheel sensor. when it all was happing lots of codes were coming up gearbox, diff front and back, transever box,plus many more, didn't look good, but there was one code that repeatedly came up at the top of the list, at this point it was becoming undriveable ,it just didn't seem that a wheel sensor could cause all these codes. So I went got two wheel speed sensor, replaced driver side front, the problem never came back, the sensor controls so many systems ,cleared all codes, happy days, I could have pulled the car apart for nothing, and got nowhere, except an empty wallet. hope this helps you or someone.

      105C thermostat replacement

      As I understand the wiring diagrams and operation Item 9 on the thermostat housing is the sensor which sends its signal to the ECU for interpretation with information from the map sensor. Information from item 12 (1st drawing ) is also used to provide average temp across the cooling system. As far as I am aware the Thermostst is independent of the sensors and operated by expanding wax material internally
