have a problem with my 320i 2009. The orange engine warning light is flashing and the car vibrates. The vibration is worse when the air con is switched on. Can any body help?

Hi Richard

Welcome to the Forum

As you have a CHECK ENGINE light flashing you have a problem that needs attention NOW if you are not capable of diagnosing it yourself you need a Garage or Mechanic

The vibration could be a misfire, or a loose pulley or tensioner turning on the AC increases the load on the engine so will not help.

Check the timing pulley. My e36 had this issue where the pulley had perished and moved forward and back, stopping the sensor from detecting the timing, causing a misfire.   Also worth checking the aircon pump bearings.

      Rough idle problem

      Looking for some help. 2010 116i M sport with the 2.0na engine. When cold, car ticks over perfectly. After about 15 mins of driving when idling you can feel it getting a little bit rough. Nothing too bad, but the longer you idle the worse it gets. No EML. When running car runs perfectly not a flicker. Today left it idling for 10mins after I felt it and then revs started to fluctuate but still no eml. OBD scanner can’t pick anything up. Turned it off and back on and was still rough but only a little bit like when it just starts. Anyone had anything similar or can point me in a direction of where I should start looking?

      I stand corrected…. It wasn’t the starter. I could hear it clicking so checked the battery, amps were about 10… new battery and fired straight up…. So much for Halfords and yuasa battery testing! ….now to the next issue…
