Well the AA mechanic didn't even look under the bonnet. With regards to everything being plugged in, it was done 500 miles ago all the servicing so you'd think any issue would have arised earlier. I have read on a few posts that a faulty injector will cause cutting out of the engine... There's no ...

Hi Guys, seem to have another fault with the X5...! I know its not used much but its been fine recently. Other day started it, left it running for a few mins and when i set off the drive it just cut out! Started again, set off again and it cut out no warning lights etc... So called the AA Breackdown ...

Yes, tried the reset but that didn't help. Brightness is fine in the menu.

Puzzling as it works fine just the light is dim.

Read on here possibly battery low could cause this - anyone else had this issue?

Hi guys, Quick question My Idrive works perfectly fine however its no longer bright as it was and I have to shine some light to the screen in order to see the menu etc.. i have read up on a few posts about weak battery causing such an issue which I know my car has a weak battery as I hardly use the ...

HI Guys, the x5 heaters wouldnt blow any air from the heaters at all?

all the functions / buttons all work fine as do the controls but theres just no air?
any ideas?

thanks in advance

Anyone ever had this fault 434E Cooling Air Flap System...

What are they?

I have a 2007 BMW X5 and my mechanic is saying they don't exist?!

Pretty certain that's an injector fault. Injectors which don't perform well will cause lack of fuel getting through and reduce power delivery.

A new egr fitted but still showing egr fault in a diagnostic check, along with Airflow & dpf... Had soot levels checked and it said 64% available - would that bring up the dpf error on the scanner?? I'm thinking the fault may lie elsewhere but Iv had glow plugs / relay, full service, new egr, but ...

Hmmm I wouldn't like to have it removed however there seems to be quite a few people have them removed and remapping ecu. My findings are that a removed dpf will cause smoke hence mot failure however if the car is remapped for correct emissions it would pass emissions and smoke tests for mot Does ...

As per title,

My x5 is in limp mode - is there anyway of doing a regen / forced regen?

Has anyone on here had dpf removed and ecu remapped? Pros / cons please

Iv not changed the pressure sensor yet... Although I'm not sure it's faulty -

But the dpf faults are showing but car is in Limp Mode and struggles to get to 10mph.

Hmmm, Iv read a few posts other members with the same issue... But some do a forced regen and it usually cures it - however no one has actually said whether they have replaced the exhaust back pressure sensor....? Il have to get it checked by an Indy to see how much of the DPF is actually clogged as ...

Hi guys, Replaced glow plugs / controller as engine light came on the X5, After that engine light on again and threw up EGR valve fault, Local garage replaced egr and now the following fault codes thrown up [emoji35][emoji35] http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/22/2274b45d45c81c86ac5fd627d27d0240 ...

£750 spent and still none the wiser! Fitted a new EGR valve and car is still very sluggish - not picking up speed Local Indy now checked with scanner and faults are showing different things, first time it was this http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/08/22/98e233cbfab65a9f553d10ce7b97d327.jpg Then ...

I totally agree with you mate, the good old days a real mechanic would pin point a fault without all this code reading malarky... It does just seem too easy for them to plug a machine in and replace whatever part shows up on the machines!! Unfortunately my mechanic is going by his code reader and ...
