Alternator?

I ended up getting the AA out, they tested the battery and said it's lost it charge due to the alternator. There were no bad cells. I explained the battery light was intermittent and he said that's probably the alternator trying to kick in. Just ordered a new alternator, this one had done 190k! I ca...

Alternator?

This morning I had no notifications on the dash. I ran Carly and got the following results the first is with the car on and second with the car off.

So, it must be a connection issue. I'll start at the battery any where else if the battery is okay?

Alternator?

Hello all The battery light has just come on, the battery is only 2 months old and I coded it via the Carly App. Using the App the battery voltage is about 11.4, sometimes is shoots up to 14.8 but recently it's more around 10.4-11. The App shows a fault code of 00A417 (DDE Alternator), could it be t...

Air Suspension

*UPDATE*

So, I changed the solenoid and it still didn't work.

The air I could hear going into one bag was was in fact leaking. The pipe had come off the air bag!! That's all it was, the garage I took it last time couldn't of done it properly.

Air Suspension

I've pulled out the reply and it looks fine, still not sorted.
I'm hoping its the solenoid now.
I can hear air going into one bag but not the other.

Air Suspension

Hello all I lost my air suspension on both bags, I can hear the compressor but it doesn't lift. Both bags were replaced last year so I thought may the compressor didn't have enough power and replaced it over the weekend. The new compressor is working but the car is still not lifting so maybe the com...

Fuel filter heater control

Would it be this part?

https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showpa ... Id=13_1230

Comes with a fuel strainer. I suppose I'd better get one just in case we get a freak winter.

Fuel filter heater control

Morning all

I scanned the beast to find a fuel filter heater control error 4b1c.

I cleared it and it came back a week later, from what I've read although there's not much on the topic it's really needed for very cold climates.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Blower

Thanks for the advice guys, it was the blower regulator. It's behind the glove box and attached to the blower. Took about 45mins with lots of F & C words. It's awkward to take out and put back in and if you got back problems I'd stay clear. I've attached the part in question for future reference...

Blower

Hi all My blower has stopped working all of a sudden. If I put it on max I can feel a very slight breeze. From what I read on other forums it may be the blower or FSU or the fan blower resistor. No errors come up on the dash and I scanned with Carley which came up with no errors either. What are you...

Re: Engine turning off/stalling at any speed, without warning...

I have a similar issue with mine at the moment, mine turns off as soon as I turn it on and go. If I wait for 30 seconds its fine, I ran Carly through it and it comes up as injector 5, glow plug 3 and 6. I've got the glow plugs and control coming tomorrow and the injectors are still under warranty as...
