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

      Air bag fault

      Hello Dave. I don’t know if it will stop the engine from running, I read it in one of the BMW forums. The strange thing is that I don’t get a fault on my dash!! only on the OBD. I got my first 735 last August, loved it from the first ride, and now I am trying to fix all those little things that the main BMW dealer have not bothered to put right, hence my questions. Almost there!! Many thanks Dimitri

      Air bag fault

      Not unusual for the oil level sensor to fail but never heard of one stopping the engine starting, though it does sound logical I changed 3 on the 4.6is but you have to wait until Oil Change as they are in the bottom of the sump Dave

      X1 2024 Recall pillar problem

      Exactly I had to point out I had taken legal advice (luckily had a good pal who is a solicitor) before they took it seriously, they too gave me a rather rough 220i and seem to think that’s good enough for now !

      Hi Mishal Welcome to the Forum Check using www.realoem.com put the laST 7 digits of your Vin into the search box it will call up your model then check the relevant section. When you find the part number you need double click it and you will see a list of any other Part numbers and Models that they were used in. If you google the part numbers you should find compatible aftermarket Kits Dave m
