Hey guys, Just wanted to give an update on how things went, so finally go round to changing the sensor on my car, I actually replaced two sensors as one was gone al together and another I had a knock that side and it had recessed it in some. Whilst I did the whole job of taking bumper off and wheels...

Not sure on your car but on my 2002 e53 x5 there are outside and inside ones listed. But i think any fit it is the holder part that makes the difference. Did you look on realoem for the part number then search for it. https://www.realoem.com/ Thanks for this, this site is a gamer changer to be able...

You may be able to get to the sensors at the front via the wheel arch (remove the trims) and the removable trim panels below the centre ones? Not sure about the rear though. So finally got round to Testing out the sensors and my issue seems to be the front right if in the car or front left if stand...

Not a worry, appreciate the help, seems I have lucked out and have the easier variation (in BMW standards) to replace the battery, in the boot version.

What makes you think it's the alternator? Faults with those is pretty rare in modern BMWs, it's usually a dying battery, or the battery has been changed without the systems being taught there's a new battery on the car. If you're seeing a steady 13.8 to 14.4V DC at the jump start point with the eng...

Some of the below may be partly duplicated across two images. If I get time I'll try to neaten it up a bit. It’s for the F48 2.0D This procedure below is not for the DIY iliterate!! I'm not sure I've ever seen so much work being needed for a bl@@dy battery!! FB152073-6591-4FDC-9FE2-80AE4592A17A.jpe...

Hey guys, got a 2015 X1 2.0 diesel. I may have an issue with my battery. (need to do some more checks) but as some premptive reading, I am seeing if anyone has a procedure write or can tell me any BMW that runs the same engine for an battery replacement?

Thanks in advance.

The front sensors don’t need the bumper off apart from left centre. Screws at top (4) and bottom (9) all need to come off Sides are got to via the wheel arches and front right via the trim panels below the fog lights.

Have you had a fault code scan done.

Yeah your mostly like right I doubt all have failed and No l not yet wanting for a friend to borrow his tool, just wanted to do some ore reading on the process of things whilst I'm waiting around.

Hey guys, I have a 2015 X1 with a PDC fault, where all sensors seem to be out of commission.

Before tackling jobs like removing panels as it have broken plastics written all over it. Are there any good write-ups / videos on the forum for how to remove the bumpers?

Thanks in advance.

No pictures? You need to use the ‘Add Files’ button just above the ‘Post Reply’ button (at the bottom of the reply text box) or they don’t upload. You can’t insert them into a post any other way. One sensor can cause an issue but not normally at both ends. Put your ear to each in turn and you shoul...

I had 1 fail on my e53 and the system stopped front and rear and the button flashed just like yours. As said above you will hear the good ones clicking. Turn ignition on but don't start the car and select reverse then put your ear to them. Hey guys does anyone know of any good write ups / videos on...
