Evening all. 

Please help. I have a BMW 116d  I've taken my car to my local garage and they have inspected it and put it on a diagnostics machine. Nothing is showing up. When my window Wipers are on, the car randomly loses power and then sorts itself out. It is like the breaks are being applied. No faults show on the dash. I'm puzzled and would appreciate some guidance.  TIA

Morning Zoe

Welcome to the Forum

I would seek help else where an inspection ? what did they inspect and a dignostic scan will not necessarily tell you what or where the fault is particularly if it isn't a BMW capable diagnostic program. From your description it would seem there is a short somewhere when the wipers are on that is having an effect on one or more other systems (Throttle body, Fuel delivery, Wategate)

Go online there is a register of BMW specialists you should find one near you or a Good Automotive Electrician

Good luck

Dave

      Winter driver's door problem

      Hi Daniel The only electrical connection is the under handle LED on the outside door handle. The door handle has a Bowden cable that connects it to the actuator, the actuator has electrical connections to communicate with the cars control system the actuator is bolted inside the door, the inside door handle is also connected to the actuator by a second Bowden cable To work on it you will have to take off the inner door card then carefully peel away the water membrane. Once the actuator is exposed you can get your hand behind it and unhook the Bowden cable then remove the outer handle and unhook the other end of the cable. Fitting the new cable is obviously the reverse Dave

      Winter driver's door problem

      Hi Daniel The door has an electric actuator for locking/unlocking the outer handle is connected to it by a cable if the outer cable is sticking the actuator can't release so the inner handle will not work. The only fix I think will be a new cable to the outer handle Dave

      318 se 06 no fan moter

      Morning Tony Welcome to the Forum All fuses check OK ? If you are a DIY man then in the passenger footwell behind the covers you will find the Blower motor housing. Fixed to the bottom of the fan will be the Fan Regulator (Sometimes reffered to as the FSR) This is quite often the problem, though the blower unit itself can be changed I would expect a Regulator to cost around £20 to £30 a complete fan around £60 to £90 Good luck Dave
