Hi

118 D 2014

I have been having coolant issues for the last couple of months. Dash light come telling me low coolant got it topped up two late dash came on again saying the same topped it up again. 
Called my mechanic he carried out a pressure test head gasket test and water pump check all good. That was about a month ago yesterday dash came on again say low coolant. No leaks have been found. The car does 15 miles a day. 
Any ideas 

Regards

Morning James

Welcome to the Forum

First a question, when the "low Coolant" alert shows how much coolant do you need to put in ? If there are no leaks then it shouldn't need anything, over filling can cause damage

I believe BMW issued a Technical Bulletin on checking the Level sensor for your model 

Check the Internet or talk to a BMW Specialist or Dealer

      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

      Nav display

      I want my backup camera display on my 2022 X5 to cover the entire screen. How do I get rid of that partial camera display on the far right. It's a hindrance to human and vehicular traffic.
