hiya all,

bmw 316i.

had to get a motor quick as our motabilty car had to go back and now being

on my own in the sticks my motorbike is not that practical for the old tescos run lol.

anyway i got this 316 in dark green, not looked at it propelry yet as i have been to busy but

thats what tomorrows been set aside for.

i used to be a mondeo chap ( please go easy on me lol) and was in there enthusiasts club for years

but now thought i needed a change.

feels like a nice motor and looking forward to getting to grips with this forum and all the people

in here too.

looks a great site so far as i havent had time to look round yet but will be having a good look around.

sorry just me waffling on here, but looking forward to getting to know everyone and especially my new motor.

cheers

steve.

Sorry to hear you need a windscreen, did you make a claim against the council

once the windscreen is sorted, you will be able to enjoy the car, good luck.

nah i didn't bigal, very long story about why i didnt but just couldnt be bothered with all the hassle and paperwork, ive had

enough of paperwork over these last 2 months.

got her sorted today and they brought a screen with a green sunstrip in it which i told them i didn't have before, say that though

its the same colour as the car so im a bit chuffed about that lol. a bit dear for a sun strip and a clean of the inside of the

windscreen though but hey ho thats life i suppose.

but thanks for that though, hopefully i can start enjoying it now thanks al.

      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
