Hi guys, thought id give this site a go, was on e46 fanatics, have posted 3 topics and not a single hi or answer.

bought my first bm about a month ago, was al japanese before, sold my starlet glanza v turbo and swopped for 318ci coupe. and i love it!

one ov the sensore on the back has gone, the sensors arnt the ones set straight into the bumper, all foyur are housed by a black plastic sort of vent/grill looking thing,. does this just pop off to get the sensors out?

cheers guys,

i hope i have more luck on here!!!

Hey, yep its the pre-facelift one, the sensors are bmw ones, not an add on. Did the tp.icking noise test, and all seem to tick when its i reverse. Fuse maybe? Or wud a knakerd fuse make it not work at all?

P.s its same bumper as this one. Its the blak plastic trim i need to get off, or do the sensors just pop out.

      Rough idle problem

      Hello Dave, Just an update and I think you may be right. Went out and gave it a few revs when cold, nothing. Let it warm up and there was a loud “shoooo”. I’ve attached a photo of where the sound was coming from. Going to get it looked into but do you have any idea of what it could be? First BMW, always had vag cars so engine are a little different to what I’m used to

      Rough idle problem

      Hello Dave thanks for your reply, thanks for the reply and it does sound like that could be the problem. I was thinking injector but never pops an engine light up so wasn’t certain. Was serviced 6500 miles ago but was just oil and filters. Going to check later and see if I can see any visible cracks or splits. Got a friend who has a garage and will obd and smoke test it for me.

      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
