Its a 1.9 engine,the problem is the abs light is on and some times it goes off ,its like it has a mind of its own.Im very tempted to remove the abs as long as the speedo doesnt run of it.

Your Speedometer runs off the gearbox in all cases... The ABS will have issues if either -

The inside of the discs are soiled/rusted...

Sensor failure...

Fluid levels or air in the system...

OBD reset after work has been done has not been done...

The ABS Unit is faulty...

BTW You DO have ABS... Check the above 1st and get back to me with your findings...

Just out of interest, what is the difference in tread depths of your front and rear tires.

My fronts were replaced last January, but the rears hung on till they were down to the legal limit.

The abs/asc did not like the huge difference in tread depths and threw up abs warnings and skid warnings.

All gone now it has new tires all round.

John.

If you have an ABS light that lights up then (stating the obvious) you have ABS... How does the brake pedal feel? When was the fluid last changed? Did you have a look at what I mentioned way back in this Topic?

      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

      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?
