Hi all, I've got an e92 that was in a front end collision that I'm currently working on. After a temp fix on the BST and replacing some of the electrical components of the engine it seems to run ok. Please could someone confirm what this steel pipe is (part name/ no?) below the crankshaft...

E66 crankshaft vibration damper Hi, I've been having vibration through cockpit on 05 facelift e66, so took it to a local specialist and they think it's the vibration damper being out of balance. They want £300 to change it which seems a bit steep to me as it's basically a pulley wheel...

Hi All, Getting ready to take it to Chemix tomorrow to hopefully see if the new hub and arms have solved the bend preventing a proper adjustment but after doing some checks I noticed that it looked like the belt was wobbling slightly, so I stopped the engine and noticed the belt seems very...

I've been reliably informed my stalling issue on my E46 330d with M57D engine is a faulty crankshaft sensor. Can anyone tell me the best way to get to this. Going from up top presumably removing the intake manifold and any other obstacles. or working from underneath, removing splash covers...

crankshaft sensor recommendation Hi guys I’m new to the forum so I’m still getting to grips with all the info. Iv just picked up a 55 plate e90 320i that needs a crankshaft sensor, but Looking online brings up a ton of aftermarket ones but I’m not too keen on gambling with these cheap sensors...

I'm putting the engine back (N42 4-cyl.) after a valve stem seal job, and the timing chain seems stuck below at the oil pump sproket. I want to rotate the crankshaft a bit to loosen it but the camshafts are already back on. Hence my question: How much can I rotate the crankshaft while the...

Hi all. My 98 528i seemed to have a CPS fault. When I connected it to my lap top, the fault showed up as " intermittent crankshaft sensor fault. I cleared the fault and fitted a new ( eBay) sensor. The same fault has returned immediately. I should say that the car runs fine but for sometimes...
