monitoring

Hi, I have 2012 320d efficient dynamics with 16" standard alloy wheels fitted... The car has low tyre pressure monitoring system of some kind... How do I check if my wheels have the 'special' valves? The reason I'm asking is I'm intending on changing my horrible looking alloys for slightly...

This evening I have had my glow plug module replaced which has cleared all my glow plug related faults and hopefully cured the rough idle when the weather is cold. So over the coming days I want to take the car for a drive on the motorway just to make sure the dpf will regen (bit paranoid about...

I hope someone can help me, I have fault code 4B90 and have tried a variety test to eliminate the injectors and solinode valve. I have found that the fuel going into the injector pump seeming to be coming straight back out on the return even without the engine running, is this normal? I...

Hello I'm new to the forum so hello and I hope everyone is well! Due to natural instinct really I thought I had a slight starting issue so I purchased BMW scanner 1.4.0 diagnostic equipment, which has shown the code in DDE, 09F6 [02550] Monitoring, rail-pressure, at start. Somes the car is...

Just finished swapping in the inlet blanks, put it all back together. Started it, everything ok. Got 100 metres down the road and absolutely no power. Felt like the car was breathing through a straw. The fault code is 3f25 charge air tube monitoring. Can anyone shed some light as I'm in Kent...

Hi Everyone , I'm hoping someone else has had this error and its not the kiss of death for the trans , car has not gone into limp mode , but had an old error code showing gear monitoring error , it has caused the trans to change between gears like its not sure which gear it wants to be in ...

Tyre pressures checked three days ago and all well. I run all tyres (Michelin Pilot SS) at 32psi. Today when I start up I get a warning to check the pressures. Nothing visibly wrong so drive off and set the monitor running in iDrive. (You have to drive the car otherwise it apparently won't...

Hi Guys this is the 1st car i have had with a tyre pressure monitor system, i trusted it .. silly me today i found out its limitations l was parked up at a radio installer to get a offer for a aux in line and another client remarked he thought my tyres were low that struck me as odd as...

Hi, I am having problems starting my 2002 330D Touring . It starts when cold (although takes a while now) but once the engine is warm it will not start again until it is cold (i.e. 3+ hours later). I have managed to install the BMW diagnostic software (eventually!) and I have the following...

I have had issues with my DPF since my remap on my 2008 335d at the end of May which I have resolved with much help from DIS. I got it for registering my battery and have used it on a few things, but mainly to diagnose the issue with my DPF. So I thought I would pass on what I have learnt. 1...

Good evening all, I took my car into a friends garage today to get the codes read and all I got was code 49 - gear monitoring. I've done some research today, and all I can find is people with lots of codes that go along with this one, but all I have is this one on its own. I've only had the...

Well, thought Id cracked it with the friction additive. Revs stopped bouncing, smooth gear changes. Happy days...... Todays new problem is while under hard acceleration in 3rd gear, I suddenly lost drive and revs went to the limiter. I let off the gas and drive was restored. Keen to find out...

My BMW 325 conv automatic has developed a fault, the orange triangle flashes intermittently, and sometimes will lose drive. Its fine now and driving well. I plugged in and had code 49 gear monitoring came up. Has anyone any ideas as to where to look and what they may mean ? As I say, it...

Long story short- Last two mornings when engine has been stone cold Ive had gearbox trouble. It starts fine, and drives fine for a minute. Turn the corner at the end of the street and the Cog with exclamation mark comes up in place of gear selection indicator! {!} It then feels like it is...

Fault is Gear Monitoring 5 car drives great but when on open road in auto car will occasionally go into limp home mode (stuck in 4th gear) until I turn ignition off then on again to clear fault, it will drive around town fine. whats interesting is that when on open road using manual (tiptronic...

Morning All. I have noticed when sitting at a constant speed the revs fluctuate by a couple of hundred RPM above and below the revs im sitting at. Also if I am doing say 30mph and I gently accelerate the revs actually seem to drop and I have to accelerate more to counteract it. Its hard to...

Hi Everybody. I have been having issues with my E46 330D 184bhp M57. I cannot get rid of the 4704 Pre-supply pressure monitoring error. It is causing surging from 1500rpm to about 2500. The power gets pulled back then released, pulled back. Every time as soon as this happens it trigers "4704...
