Evening Everyone, This is going to be the most straight forward post anyone's ever looked at!! If i remove the ECU from my X5 40d can it be checked ?? Does a remap leave a digital footprint ?? I want to prove to my finance company that the Piece of S**T that i bought was remapped & i didn't even...

Gents,

The I drive on this heap is telling me to put 1 litre of oil in immediately, the dipstick is saying it’s right on the max level........I know who the dipstick is!!! Me for buying this pile of scrap

Horizon,

Need to add more oil according to the idive, I’m presuming that if the noise is louder with the oil filler cap off!! It indicates it’s at the top of the engine ??

Cheers

Paul

All,

Please follow link to see if anyone can confirm this is Lifter Ticking

Alright Glen, Yeah figured that might be the case, cheers. I’m trying to do that now!! Just hope I can get it in so people can maybe verify the sound of Lifter Ticking. I’ve watched a few videos today on YouTube & it definitely sounds the same to me!! I just absolutely shat myself when the noise...

All,

I’m not a 100% but I think the tapping sound could be from the lifters ?? I performed the BMW bleeding procedure that states run the engine between 2500 - 3000 rpm for 3 Minutes once engine oil is at correct pressure - I s**t myself at the noise & only done it for 29 seconds

Hi Ian, I’m trying to upload a video but can’t seem to do it on here, the noise seems to be coming from the drivers side of the engine bay!! More like a ticking that increases when I rev the engine ?? The I drive is showing no faults but my ODBll scan tool is giving the following codes: P0034 Turbo/...

[quote="X5Sport"] I don’t have a list of codes to work from, sorry.  If they are generic codes then a web search is pretty much the only way to track down the issue.  Got a couple of computers to build today so away most of the time. The folks on here will help where we can though  :) [/qu...

[quote="X5Sport"] If there is someone with a Carly system (on this Forum and close to you) who can plug in that might help.  It’s just a dongle that plugs into the OBDII port and talks to either an Android or IOS app.  You can send the log to Carly for them to have a look too. [/quote] I’l...

[quote="X5Sport"] Get a code read with a genuine BMW reader, or reader software.  That should tell you why the warning light is on. If the sump took a clout then there will be the possibility of debris in the oil and impact to the bottom end.  You might be hearing a failing main bearing on...

Evening All, Well further to my previous posts - Please can someone shed some light on the following issue?? October 2017 - Snapped prop shaft, Punctured Sump = Hefty Bill January 2018 - Prop shaft replaced, new sump, new differential, New EGR Valve + Cooler = Vehicle running with some issues Februa...

Kkx5, The front prop snapped at the knuckle connection & went through the sump @ 60mph!! Very dangerous especially on a motorway. Apparently it’s a common fault with this model but BMW don’t issue a full recall, maybe they will when there’s a fatality!! Anyhow it’s cost £4700 to repair all the d...

Morning all, Wondering if anyone has experienced the following ?? My current 40d msport has just had a new propshaft, new sump, new diff, new egr valve + cooler assembly Everything is functioning as it should however the following codes can not be cleared P0031 P0034 P0101 P0245 P0245c The mechanics...
