bmw 1.8 diesel on 18 plate, yellow light on, sayind driveline but ok to drive,
Hi Bryan,
Did you mean drivetrain? You’ll need a fault code scanner to read stored fault codes. Might be something such as a sensor in the gearbox, but impossible to know until you read those codes.
BMW 1 series 56 plate 1.6 petrol Red service light, its a fan then what looks like DPF filter any help please.
On stopping engine clattering from throttle valve. Had checked,was told
need new valve assembly. Clattering intermittent.
Started car, dashboard showed “engine drivetrain fault,loss of power”.
Code 31 also showed. Car did have full power,drives fine.
Engine fault code 31 then cleared!
No faults now shown. Any ideas please?
