No its clean, ive been having a look around and the X1 seams to use something called a wideband o2/lambda sensor and the data that they send is completely different to a standard sensor. From what i can fine is that a standard o2 sensor uses 2-3 wires and a wideband normally uses 5-6 and the one on ...

I am in need of some of your wisdom. My x1 has started drinking fuel for the past 2-3 fill ups and it feels as if its still got the handbrake on like its holding itself back. There are no codes present. I've had a look at the live data and the only thing i can find that looks not right is the lambda ...

Got a syringe ready with some extension pipe on it to fill the turbo with oil. Just thinking about the best way to fill the oil supply line before starting with oil as that's on the to replace list.

There was a small pool of oil in the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler so lucky i caught it when i did. The turbo is on order now so hopefully will be here on Tuesday and some bits coming from BMW that should be Monday. It looks like a simple install so shouldn't take me more than 2 hours + 30 ...

Well ladies and Gents i think the noise has been found i was about to check all the air pipes and intercooler with some soapy water for leaks and i had a feeling to check the turbo. When i moved the not sure what is is actually called maybe the impeller it has a lot of movement side to side / up and ...

Ive not checked the intercooler but i did replace the turbo to intercooler hose about 4 weeks ago as there was a misting of oil at the end of it. The hose did have a coating of oil in it but it was not dripping in oil. I arnt sure the amount that would be acceptable as ive heard that a light ...

At fast idle it doesn't change much i noticed a jump to 17% for one second then back down to 0. It was raining and about 5c when i did the recording.

Also as far as i can tell there are no small pipes to the actuator as it is electronic controlled and not like a normal waste gate.

I've uploaded a 8 min drive with the live data. If anyone knows if the value should be a 5% minimum please let me know. As i cant find anything about the actual values any where. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B5hycZnbFFA

After spending around hour checking every data point that i could find the only thing that i could find that looked a bit strange in the charging pressure actuator. That was sat at 0% when according to the scanner should be within 5 - 95%. I don't know if it being at 0 is a issue as the car was at ...

UPDATE The noise is still there and now it seams to have started whining when accelerating but quietens down when you hear the turbo spool up. Had to pick my brother up yesterday from Manchester so a 105 mile round trip and the fuel just disappeared the car said it was doing 51 MPG but filled back ...

Got the part today was 5 mins to install but still no luck the noise is still there.

StyBeeDoo thanks for the figures from yours i am thinking the mpg drop is just a normal winter thing for these cars. The problem ive been having is that i have been trying to link both the problems together ie low mpg and a new noise when they might actually be separate things. If that makes sense ...

I wonder why the cover fell off? Just one of those things I suppose, or knocked during a service maybe and kept quiet! Well when this noise started it went back to the people i bought it from to investigate a judder it had in the mornings just before the warranty ran out and the next day i picked ...

Get ready all this is going to be a long one. The o2 sensors are reacting correctly on idle and under acceleration according to the live data. I have finally got the flex replaced the one i linked before was the wrong one but i finally found the correct part https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/353820141046 ...

Ive been to my local dealer today and yes i can get the the flex part for £116 but needs to be welded on. I have found a kit on ebay that doesn't need welding just waiting on a reply to confirm fitment. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124341525363?_trkparms=amclksrc%3DITM%26aid%3D111001%26algo%3DREC.SEED% ...
