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...

Does anyone know if there are any differences in the dampener/crankshaft pulley, im trying to find the best price as cash flow is tight and mine has decided to give up the game. There seems to be varying prices from the same company for what looks like in the photo the same pulley. The car is a...

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...

Hi, I've just bought a 2006 318ci. But since buying I have found 2 issues.... 1, after around 5 miles of driving, the dashboard lights up and it goes into safe mode. It's happened a few times and in general,... I pull over, switch off the engine and then it doesn't allow me to start it again...

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...

I brought a 320d Msport Touring last week at a local second-hand car dealership. It has FSH, has travelled 128,000 miles and both exterior and interior are in great condition for its age (2011). Having never previously owner a BMW before I made sure I researched the car online for known issues...

Right-o, I've hit the dreaded crankshaft sensor problem (I think), I'd just like confirmation if possible before I set myself upon replacing it. My car is an E46 318ci with the N42b20 engine. Symptoms are simple, engine cuts out for what seems like no reason and the dash gives me the red...

Hi. My 528i auto developed a hot starting problem. On checking INPA, it told me it had an intermittent CPS failure. I had the sensor replaced ( with an ebay one) and the problem persists, exactly the same. Clear the faults, but it comes back. Car starts cold fine, normally runs well, though it...

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...

Anyone done a replacement for a rear crankshaft seal end how long does it take and how tricky is it? BMW dealer said its a 14 hour job local says its 5 hours. Is it a rubber seal around the alloy that breaks that leaks oil? It's located on the front side of the gearbox you need to take the...

Hi everyone, In some desperate need of advice. My BMW X3 E83 Diesel for the past 6 months or so has been sounding like a truck upon start up, with a loud bad rattling noise coming from the engine. about 80% of the time when starting the engine from cold it would stall on first attempt on...

My crankshaft pulley ripped off when pulling away today. 50 miles away from is too far with no power steering so had to be recovered. Anyone had this happen to them? According the the AA guy he see's it quite alot. Car is a 2010 e90 320d. Apparently the pulley bolts are pretty tough to get...

Hi i'm new here so pardon my punt. i bought a 2010 E90 320d efficient dynamic about 4 weeks ago but i have done 3,000 miles now and the crankshaft pulley has ripped off i think it was on its way out anyway but i'll get to the point I want to fit a new one i'm mechanically minded but don't want...

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum and have been having some issues with my E90 320D (2005). So to give a breif summary my engine cuts out while driving at ~40mph or above. So I purchased an OBD scanner and it threw out some error codes 3EC0 Camshaft Sensor 3E90 Crankshaft Sensor I'd like...

Evening all Whilst taking apart my M62TU to replace the timing chain guides I have come across a couple of issues : 1. There appears to be a bolt holding the torque converter to the flywheel in the way of the flywheel locking pin hole when the crank pulley has "OT" at 12 o'clock position...
