Thanks alot. No the EML never came on, it isn't on now either, just jolts when I put it in drive and is in safety mode. If it was the plate, how woukd it have been fine for the last 2 week's? I'm just curious if I can clear the codes again and drive it back to England. I will likely sell it...

Thanks for that! Where is the connector under the seat? Is it under the drivers side seat? It always realted to bumps and gravel, when it first started potholes caused the issue, now its more gravel roads as there are less potholes here but more bad gravel roads cheers

This fault did clear though after the diagnostics???...

Hi Mark, Thanks for your message. 1. Yes they did, they scanned the entire car. 2. Yes. 3. they scanned it after and the only faults were Telecomms and overhead control panel 4. EML? I cannot see that on the printout, what is EML? I have not checked a vacuum hose under the air filter box, I...

Hi All, After 'fixing my car' which had been in safety mode, only drove in 2nd and jolted when it went into drive or reverse with a new battery, cleaning the MAF and clearing the codes , the problem came back yesterday, after 2 weeks of smooth sailing. Here's the question, it happened after I...

Hi all, I bought a long tube, got a spray bottle and pumped 1 litre out :) Back to normal, 0 faults showing, running very well, and I couldn't be happier to have found this platform. You guys saved me a fortune, and the help and advice was greatly appreciated. Thanks a bundle

Thats great, thanks so much!

I didn't adjust it no. I was going to ask how to do so? Thanks

Hi. Thanks for that, I'll check out what a DEF tank is. The good news is that I cleaned the MAF, that took two faults away, replaced the battery, it ram better but still didn't change. I then met a neighbour who low and behold works for an Indy BMW garage, he said come one down and so I did...

its a petrol, 200k 1.8 petrol kompressor thanks

Hello. Agreed that's why I took it to a garage, they used a long flexible dipstick as the car doesn't come with one. It's a 4 cylinder, and it's p205a. Not 0205. The code befire was fuel mixture and cylinder 3 misfire but after cleaning the maf as that was the next natural step those two went...

Hi. Because I didn't know it had been services and because all the symptoms and what I read online lead me to believe that it woukd be a quick fix. I took it to a garage to look at it and the first thing they said was atf. They didn't seem concerned that it was slightly over. The symptoms were...

thanks for the messages. Okey, I added a litre or just under. Do I just undo the nut undereath and let around a litre out? Any idea on connecting the battery cable together off the battery to reset the ECU? One final thing to try

In fact 25/02/2016 the gear had £1080 spent at the same garage, thats when they done a gearbox oil drain, and filled up with ATF 1234, replaced filter and gasket and sump, I put nearly a litre of ATF oil, wasn't 1234, but that was after the issue arose, that was a week ago or so, it was full...

And sorry Greenmanslk, the mileage was 83,000 when my engine screwed up, timing chain, so I had a used lump put in two months gao with a certifies 56,000 miles. The Transmission is original, the service book says the Automatic Transmission Oil was changed at 64,615 miles at TEC Auto - MB Indy
