How is the oil pressure? If its low then this could be a prob!

Even if its ok you could still have an oil channel blockage ! Does the temp needle rise to 3 quarter?

... Just a thought...

thanks guys. the temp is fine and oil pressure. im gessing for the compreshion to be off the valve seals gone or some thing. but for it to have better compreshion with the oil cap off is new to me. odd that she runs fine anyway no missing nothing ?

That is a weird one mate, but if the valve stem seals were duff then you would have smoke when starting her up...

Try this... Start her from cold and go to the exhaust pipe and notice the smell from cold and later when warm, also put you palm over it or near it and see what it leaves on your hand... Might or might not help though mucker :mellow:

It could simply be the ECU adjusting the engine to suit... For example, it will alter mixture to the cylinders to compensate...

If you cannot see any problems and I cannot suggest or help find one... Then there isn't one B)

      E53 petrol fail safe again.

      Morning Stu Long time since I played with a straight six so the old memory might be wonky here so check realoem From memory it is linked to the Air Pump and Vacuum control system. Find the Airpump and follow the Vac lines to the rear of the engine you should find a valve with a plug on top (or end) first make sure all lines are good no splits or cracks check the valve is operating, dont forget there is a non return vale in the system close to the inlet manifold. Hope this helps Dave

      Water leak at sharkfin aerial

      Morning Vic New one to me but I guess anywhere there is a joint is suspect. Like the seals around the rear lights that suddenly start to leak, removing them a good clean and renewing the seals seems to work. Check www.realoem.com to see what is fitted and how Dave

      Rough idle problem

      Morning Billy When was the car last serviced ? The symptoms you describe could be due to an air or vacuum leak, old hoses seals and vacuum lines can start to crack when cold they are stiff and don't leak (as much) when hot and flexible you see the issue developing. Your OBD Scanner needs to be BMW capable a standard scanner will only see critical functions. Dave

      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?
