Thank FK I got RAC cover!

Right yesterday I kept stalling the car (seeing as I'm not your typical woman driver this was very odd) But being British I kept calm and carried on...

Ended up in braintree (by the 8 ball) to see a mate, and stalled it again coming off the a12.

Done the shopping blah blah blah got back in the car and it sounded well ropey... it sounded like a canary was stuck under my bonnet and it was runnin so lumpy that the whole car was shaking, in attempt to control my anger I ragged the ar*e out of it round the corner to mcdonnalds and turned it off. Came back out of mcdonnalds and started it up... sounded ok... no rocking, and the canary seemed to have died.

Drove round the next corner to the petrol station and it was hell. twice as bad as before and the canary had been given the kiss of life!

But this time... NO POWER... Normally I put my foot down and I get somewhere... foot down, 2nd gear... 20mph... I actually shed a tear!

So Steve (said mate from before)said have you got AA or anything cos I don't think you should drive it.. so called the RAC and sat in the pub for 3 hours waiting...

Very nice RAC man turned up, I explained the problem (it's FKed)... Very nice RAC man plugged the diagnostics in... 10 oh yes 10 faults! all 6 cylinders miss firing... air flow sensor, steering sensor, wheel sensor and somethin else (not important)

Then very nice RAC man said "have you had it washed recently" :blink: :blink: :blink: my stomach turned... I had my engine bay cleaned saturday... BAD BAD move apparently!!! so very nive RAC man sorted out the sensors and the other thing that I can't remember what it was but no matter what he took apart and cleaned n stuff he couldn't clear the miss fire.

I was towed home... Again I shed a tear...

Here is very nice RAC mans report:

oil warning light keeps flicking on. When it does vehicle then starts to misfire! Engine light comes on, fault codes stating all 6 cylinders misfiring. Engine bay was steam cleaned 3 days prior to this.

Very nice RAC man said he thinks that where the cylinder electrics go into one box kinda thing that could of got wet and where it's dried its started to cause corrosion.

Can't get it towed to the garage till tomorrow morning...

Called a mate, he recons a coil pack?

Anyone have any ideas???????

Definately water ingress... Work from fuse boxes and check ALL engine bay connections and pray they (Dream Cleaners) haven't confused any ECU's...

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      Update: I checked my battery and it charged in 5 minutes, so I don't have to find another alternator. All seems to be OK except for the plastic "L"s with a short rubber hose that bypass the HV/AC solenoid. Those get clogged after @ 150,000-190,000 miles (if distilled water wasn't used) and cause air pockets that try to burst radiators. I have a few more brass "L"s, so now I can throw the plastic ones away. I have to be careful I don't fog the windows though, without heat or cool.

      105C thermostat replacement

      You are absolutely right. The strange thing is that when I put the chassis number on the realoem it shows that the temp sensor is not applicable on my vehicle. I will physically check for a sensor. In the meantime, do you think that the removal of the MAP activated thermostat will effect the temp gauge on the dial instrument item 6? I am tempted to add a dummy resistor , 11.5ohms - 13watts , to simulate the MAP thermostat. Your thoughts?

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Morning Andrew I normally disconnect the Neg lead only, some folks disconnect both a few even say disconnect both and touch them together. Goes without saying both sensor plugs need to be checked and a squirt of contact cleaner applied never hurts 😅 Dave

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Hi Dave, I fitted one of the sensors on the rear but it has made no effect as the light is still there, I will fit the other sensor tomorrow and see how it goes then. You mention the disconnect the battery, is there any pattern to this ? is it both leads or just the negative lead? cheers Paneuro.
