XSeries-forum

Hi (me again)
So mrs Frontman is driving the x5 and the engine management/warning light comes on in amber. Sometimes flashing,sometimes not.
Had a search on the forum.
Coil/MAF sensor ??????
I do have an Indy garage who seems to be able to find fault codes .
So (because knowledge is power) does anyone have any ideas?
It did recently have to be be jumped started after being out of action.
Any ideas.
Cheers col

If you can get over the hill this afternoon to waterfoot I will plug it in for you working this morning and going out later  let me know before 12

I'll have to book it in to find the fault code. Don't see you around now you've got your own morrisons.

You might think I'm someone else- not been to morrisons for about 4 years even though we have one nearer lol
Have acsess to a snap on scanner at work and would have brought it home for the weekend  that's why I said let me know before 12 -works on mine no problems! If you get stuck let me know

Now that's what I call friendship 

More than likely a bad lpg set up ? out of tune. I expect the O2 sensors have gone out of range which will throw up a MIL light.

Cheers for the offer sprintman, I had a look round the forum and unhooked the battery (not easy with a near full tank of gas) and the light is off for now anyway. I may still need you help when I get round to looking at the steering direction thingy because that ( or the lack of signal ) is putting the ABS warning light on.
I thought you may have been from specialised bmw being over that way.
Cheers for the offer and if it still stands I may be in touch.
Cheers Col

No probs I also have car soft on a laptop and your issues prompted me to have a little mess with it and have now got TV on the move audio warning on alarm unlocking and locking,auto locking when I set off and the  auxillary heater working 

I had the same problem.    Weak mixture and abs light on.    I have a scanner and could read all the codes but nothing added up to the codes thrown out.    Turned out to be a split intake hose and sticky idle control valve
BMW Indy said that if the ecu cannot control the power of engine then it cannot calculate power to the gearbox which stuffs up the abs calc and throws outs stearing angle sensor problem Errrrrrrr !!!!!!!!!!!
There you have it.    LPG fueling out (usually the vaporiser pressure has dropped) or you've a leak in the intake system or needs a new maf
