    Hi I recently noticed buzzing sound coming from the rear right of the car, so I assumed it could be the fuel pump as it was original 300k km. So I replaced it with VDO part but the buzzing sound is still there. Do you got any ideas what can it be? E46 318i 87kw.

    Hey all, I recently found out that LTFT b1 and b2 on my car acts in opposite directions. When I accelerate, LTFT b1 goes up a little and LTFT b2 goes down. When braking, they come closer towards each other. As for STFT, the graph kinda look normal. Also there's only an intermittent pending...

    Hey Friends I could use a hand in diagnosing a problem. Last Saturday I was on my way to do a grocery run when my car stalled immediately after starting. I cranked it again, applied a tiny bit of throttle and the car held it’s RPMs perfectly after that. I did notice however that my MPG gauge...

    Hi, recently I replaced my fuel pump and fuel level sending unit. Both were broken in half. After driving for around 1000km, the sending unit was broken again. Broke in half at the same spot. How can something like this happen? I want to know because I’m not planning to buy new pumps and...

    Hey so I have a manual 318i e46 and I have been having troubles with the engine. Basically I change up a gear and accelerate to match revs and then suddenly sometimes it loses power and starts misfiring I think because I can push the accelerator fully down and gain barely any power and the car...

    The fuel pump on my 2001 325ti is noisy, so I ordered a replacement with the P/N 16146766942. It seems to be the only one I can find, however upon arrival it has 4 pins, and my fuel delivery unit only has a 2 pin plug. I can’t seem to find this anywhere.

    2001 318i, EU Spec, M43 engine, 01/2001. Recently replaced the head gasket on my car. Torqued everything to spec and triple checked everything as I put it back together because I’m paranoid like that. When I try and start the car the instrument tach needles jump like they are suppose to, the rpm...

    My fuel pump does not prime when i turn on ignition and does not pump fuel (checked the valve on the fuel rail after cranking). I bought a used one and still nothing. Checked all fuses and every one of them were completely fine but changed them anyway. Suddenly it starts right up but dies...

    Hey Fanatics, I purchased THIS OE-brand (VDO) fuel pump for my 1999 328i. The female electrical connector on the new pump does not match the male pins on the car's wiring harness. This is really perplexing because the part number shows interchangeable on RealOEM's site, the vendor I purchased...

    Got a real doozy for y'all. I got 15 codes. A couple are trans codes, as I am working on the transmission, and have the harness disconnected. One is an o2 sensor code. (Replacing them this weekend) The other codes are Misfire/Fuel Cut-Off codes. They're attached below. I'm suspecting fuel...

    Hi all, long time no post. I have basically parked the car for the last couple years but dusting it off and getting back into fixing it up. Pretty much limited driving the car over the last couple years as I had to have the drive shaft rebuilt as the joints were having issue tearing up the new...
