Hi there everyone,
I'm new to this so if I make any errors pardon me :eek
A couple of weeks ago I bought a second hand BMW 318I SE 1999 (NEW SHAPE).
A diagnostic was done and it came up as Manifold intake solenoid not good.
The seller also told me that the heater doesnt work but the AC is fine. I drove the car home and realised it was sluggish and slow when moving up a gear, on top of that I stalled atleast 20times! I also noticed the yellow coolant sign displayed.
So I took it to a local garage told him and he changed the brittle?? and also the air flow sensor. Oh and had a full service done. As well as fixing the heater (no parts were needed). However after driving it back home which was no more than 2miles the yellow sigh came back on, all the water had suddenly dissapeared and loads of smoke coming through the exhust!!
I took it back to the garage and they couldn't find any leak at all! The smoke is really bad and its even worse when i put the car in reverse gear!:eek
The heater is fine still a bit too hot at 16degrees...what is going on? Garage cant do anything I cant keep spending ££££'s on parts which aren't faulty and im left heartbroken, I really like this car I would pay however much to fix it IF I KNEW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS...PLS help me out someone I dont know much about cars...Thanks I hope this is clear??
