I’ve got a 2006 E53 3.0L petrol my son drives. Sees about 3000-4000 miles a year only. Have had major issues with the CCV and 2 years ago caused the diaphragm to freeze on a cold winter night. Ended up detonating the engine at 75k miles requiring a replacement. Found a low mileage one then had a catch can installed which I check every week in the colder months and make sure it’s clear. Also had the seat occupancy pad go bad in passenger seat. Common issue. Some were recalls, mine was not. Found a bypass module on eBay for $50 along with seatbelt bypass. Works perfectly but cannot have small child in front as the airbag will deploy regardless if in an accident. Yaw sensor went bad, steering angle sensor too. Occasional weird electrical gremlins that come and go. Purchased a good OBD2 scanner which has helped clear many things. Still love the car. My 17 year old refuses to give it up even with the piss poor fuel mileage. I’ll take it back over when he leaves for college next year and hope it lasts another few years.

Does your ignition switch perform properly 100% of the time? If yes , get the wiring schematics for your vehicle and see if some of the faulty circuits (the ones mentioned) share a common ground or bcm. Your problems seem to stem from a single source losing 12- or 12+. If you have water ingress thru roof cartridge, window or a/b/c pillars, then fault may lie in a damp harness connection. Many are under carpet and seats including rear.

yeah and its pretty expensive, depends where you live. You need car programmer he will remove that option from the computer. IF u are cheap you can put resistor into the socket in wire harness that used to read the level suspension, you need atleast good electrician than can calculate proper value and insulate it right.

Thanks for very informative video. I'm having troubles with a battery drain, narrowed it down to Fuses 14, 27, 43 and 60. Is it worth replacing GM3 (expensive) or is it something simpler ?

@_J.P._ Жыл бұрын

might not be your issue but try this simple thing - go towards your radio module and remove the tiny little fuse, usually red colour. It may not be blown but oxidated. If it looks old simply buy a new one and change it. I fixed battery drain with that on two cars already. If not then try your blower final resistor. They do not show any codes when they go out but this is a sign of them leaving this world. But as I wrote - they do not show anything until they simply stop working one day. Change is somewhat rather easy but before you order a new one get the old one out to confirm part number AND (!!!) shape of the spike field. Some are in a triangle some in other shapes and it sometimes (very rarely) does not respond to the part catalogue to the vehicles VIN code even thou it should. But such slip ups happen to other brands as well.

The moonroof leaking is a very common problem that can lead to a very bad problem if not addressed. 4 drain tubes that drain to the four corners, but if one comes unconnected can lead to full electrical failure.

Hi I have a 630 with a load of lights that have come up on the dash. It sat for around 7 weeks and was fine before. I have recharged the battery and have crossed the neg and positive lead to wipe out ecu faults in system but fault still remains. I have checked ( all) fuses today in boot as I wanted to change cigarette fuse as I knew this blew before parking up. I have a light on the dash that is yellow with an arrow that points left and right over the roof of the car in the display but have no idea what it is are you able to advise. Im limited with knowledge on cars but like to try do what I can. It also now only will go to reverse 123 gears only seat belt restraint sign up and ABS. Many thanks

@hyperwebbing Жыл бұрын

Have you had your battery actually low tested have the actual cranking amps computed? If your battery is suspect put a new one and then have all your codes cleared with a machine and then see what comes back if any because the codes were probably set while I had the low-voltage to begin with and if you haven't had them cleared then their still stored

If the vehicles not in a failsafe mode then I would suspect you're being Limited air intake or exhaust discharge or most likely a drop in fuel pressure. If you were to step on it from 20 miles an hour will it pull strong all the way up to 70? Make sure you don't have a air filter too clogged up or some other hindrance and that put your hand over the tailpipe make sure you got Bellow sound at the end there without sounding restricted and then you can take the next step of putting a pressure gauge on the rail line turn the key over make sure it pops up to about 60 and then do it a couple more times

I've had most of those problems. Maybe you've seen this one. My hazard lights went on and I cant turn them off. New switch didn't help. removing the switch didn't either.

Hi I just bought a 30d E53 with 33k miles and I noticed that the thermostat gauge does not go dead center when to engine heats up it stays slightly to the left side (cooler side) is this normal or the thermostat needs to be changed?

@marshkid1 2 жыл бұрын

Someone may have put a slightly cooler thermostat in than factory ?
