trans

4.8 trans fail!! Had my car in for diagnostics today due to the dreaded trans fail safe coming on, the car would every now and then put its self in this mode but after turning the ignition off and on again it would clear, however a few weeks back I started the car and it said trans fail safe and...

I've tried searching but I can't quite find a similar problem to mine... I've bought the above car today (M50 engine). I didn't realise when I bought it that the transmission programme error light is illuminated as the display is a little pixelated, but it is! Driving normally, the transmission...

Need help with this, I get a intermittent fault where the radio goes off for a few seconds, also ignition light flashes and goes off again, occasionally speedo stops, trans goes into failsafe, tried replacing unloader relays with no luck, suspect voltage regulator on alternator, pulled co de on...

Hello all, I am aware that this question has been posted on here multiple times, but after searching for hours I can't find anyone who has had the same issue or a solution to my issue! So a few days ago I decided to replace the plastic rim on my steering wheel. I disconnected the battery via...

Driving to work this morning the transmission warning light came on (Exclamation mark inside a cog). The car was juddering so I took it round to my BMW mechanic. They hooked it up to the diagnostics machine, error came up under Transmission: 92 CAN torque interface The mechanic cleared all of...

Please Halp! So I've just bought this 840 mentioned in another thread, the OBC is showing a "trans fail-safe prog", BUT there are no error codes showing and the car runs great. The garage it's at have started looking into it, but have found that the wiring into the 'gearbox display selector...

Hi All, Just bought a 2001 X5 with the "TRANS FAILSAFE PROG" error, drives fantastic for a short time then the error pops up and goes into limp mode. Had a look around at what could have gone wrong and I don't think i've seen this issue posted: When the error pops up you can smell burning -...

Hey all, new here. Had a question, How does one go about a trans fluid replace when both fill and drain plugs are both on the bottom of the pan? Does the fill plug create vaccum while running? Any help would be very appreciated. Ps: Anyone with the other model pan is a lucky man.

I left the 850 for a month connected to my CTEC charger, as I normally do, but the charger packed in and when I came home both batteries were totally discharged. I recharged them both, but when I stated the car I very soon had trans fail alarm. The RPM on idle was low compared to normal and when...

Hi all, my X5 wouldn't start the other day, isn't even trying, no previous signs of any faults anywhere on the car. Went to shops other day and on my return turned the key to start the ignition, car beeped and error message read trans failsafe prog. Had chap at work plug his diagnostics machine...

Having spent weeks Googling this accursed MID message, I'm well aware that I'm far from the first sufferer (either in E31 land or further afield in the BMW kingdom). Briefly (yeah, right): The car spent the first six months (that's correct) of this year at a specialist, emerging with (most...

Bmw x5 3.0d 2005 120k miles I have been experiencing the Trans fail safe error for around 9 months now. I have tried upgrading the software on the car with a local bmw specialist and the car seemed to run a lot better. However the problem came back when driving up a steep hill with a full car...

Hi all, Just got my e92 330d auto trans a few weeks back and noticed that the acceleration was either slow or like opening up the gates of hell :D Thought was a little strange, as I'm quite heavy footed, not planting the pedal - just pushing in it would drop down a gear and throw me back in...
