I have been getting these messages on an interim basis. About every 3-4 weeks. I have replaced the battery about 1 year ago. The car starts easily every time. Has anyone else seen these messages? Does the car have an auxiliary battery?

Morning Errol

Welcome to the Forum

What is your normal journey pattern ? Lot's of short stop start journeys don't help modern cars it takes at least 15 to 20 minutes of driving at a reasonable speed to recharge the battery following a start cycle. Add to that our modern BMW's are very power hungry beasts with so many functions running often in the background.

If your journey cycle is short and stop start then I would try and add at least once a week a 20 to 30min dual carriageway or Motorway journey once a week. An alternative would be to set up and intelligent charger (Ctek) or similar) and connect it over night every week or two

      P0016 after new timing chain installed

      Installed timing chain complete with oil chain parts. Used the proper tools to make sure the timing is set correctly. (2010 BMW X3 3.0L) after install it started but ran poorly with P13B6, P13B4, and P0306 codes. Cleared the codes and started it again with the same results. Tried a third time the next day and got a P0016 and did not start. Took top cover off and checked the timing with the timing tools again and it checked okay again. Cleaned the sensor connections. (Two new timing sensors were installed along with the new chain parts. Put the top back together and got the P0016 again. Not sure where to go from here.

      SOS call system failure message 420d X drive (2020 yr)

      HI Greydog Electrician fitted the battery which lasted about 70miles then the warning reappeared. So problem persists. I'm trying other sources to fix the problem, maybe a replacement telematics is needed but that's where I'm at presently.
