accelerator

I've been noticing that whenever I change gear, as I release the accelerator pedal and reapply, it feels like it catches on something momentarily at the top. It only ever happens when changing gear. I called my local specialist and they think it might be the ABS sensor rings and was quoted £300...

Has anyone else experienced a whining noise when tapping the accelerator. I have a 430d on a 64 plate. The dealer replaced the air box and now says the noise is normal for that car but it sounds like two marbles rubbing against each other. It starts when the engine is hot and you can hear it...

Purchased on eBay for about £25, not that hard to fit just a bit tricky, I would class myself as a novice at fitting after market products. £25 well spent

Hi guys, I found many videos on Youtube with guys having same problem as I do, I can't describe it so here's a video: Engine runs fine, plenty of power, few years ago new turbo fitted, turbo pipe checked no leaks, I am hearing this sound for like 2 months now...

Collected my 328 on Tuesday and the first thing i noticed was how stiff the accelerator pedal was, it was like pushing on a brick lol also seems as if the throttle is sticking as the revs don't drop when you go to change gear, even after a 4 and a half hour journey back home it was still pretty...

Ok so i'm at my wits ends here, car started to become hesitant about a month ago, struggled under anything close to harsh acceleration. After a couple of weeks of foolishly trying to ignore the issue it all wents t*ts up, driving home engine management light came on and car became VERY hesitant...

Hi I own a 2010 318d and it has recently began to wobble when I let off the accelerator but only when I am doing around 70mph. Sometimes the wobble is barely noticeable and then other times it feels quite violent as if the wheels are ready to fall off. Any ideas of what this could be ???

Hi. Yesterday, out of the blue, my car (after pulling over to allow a tractor to pass) started ticking over very roughly as if it was struggling to stay running. During this time, the accelerator was totally unresponsive. I continued to blip the throttle for ten-fifteen seconds and everything...

Hi, I purchased an M6 a couple of weeks ago, love the car but have a couple of little queries/small faults I need some advice on. Firstly, when I put the rear demister on it interferes badly with the radio, and secondly, I noticed the accelerator pedal comes to a stop, but if I press harder...

Hi, (first post on forum and first BMW owned!). Recentley bought myself a very tidy 2000 328ci coupe automatic. I soon realised the accelerator pedal is quite stiff compared to other autos i have driven... It isn't causing any problems but after googling it and seeing a variety of possible...

So i drive a 320i for about 3 months, when i first bought the car it was huge jump from my E46 and pulling away was amazing, the biggist thing i notice i could pull away without using the accelerator, the torque was amazing, but now when i pull away without acceleration it sightly judders and i...

Good day all, I am hoping someone could give me their thoughts on a problem I am having on my car. I have had two accelerator problems in the last month. One is where the car will accelerate by itself to the point where if I put in the clutch, it will try to redline. The other time it was...

191992 e36 320i - car won't shift out of first gear when accelerator is push ... Hey guys, I'm new to the forum and fairly new to e36's so go easy on me. I went to merge onto the freeway from a stop, so I put the accelerator to the floor but the car wouldn't shift into second, it just stayed...

Hey people, my gas pedal has broken in the bottom assembly, so it seems rather unsafe to drive :mad It seems a lot of work to get it disassembled? Anyone has a guide/walkthrough for this? Thanks!

Hey chaps, I have an annoying issue with my car, there is a bit of a delay with gas pedal response when pressing it down. For example if already in motion i can lift off and coast then if i press it again it won't react instantly then the car jolts as if catching up to the...

I have a 2000 manual 530d and the throttle pedal has broke off on the bottom, the hinge. It seems easy enough to change but i'm not sure what type it has, electronic or cable operated, how would I find this out? Thanks for any help in advance.

This might seem being a bit fussy but it is annoying none the less. When I touch the accelerator pedal there is a clicking noise, is this normal? It is very noticeable when driving.

Hi guys, I was driving around 30mph yesterday and went i went to go into my drive the accelerator pedal wasn't working and then 5 seconds later it was? Anyone had this before? Thanks

2002 316TI - Low power, high revs, spluttering/blowing, hard to start. 2002 316TI SE 1.8 N42 Can anyone help me diagnose this fault. Last week it suddenly needed more revs (3000 instead of 2000) and would hardly pull away from the lights, and now it's worse, I have to have the throttle fully...
