This 2009 BMW 118D came in with the complaint of the DTC warning light flashing and losing power whilst going around corners and even over bumps.

THANK YOU!!! Long story short.... My 2008 BMW 118I started acting up early 2223. Same problem. Health issues kept me from driving the car for about seven months. November 2023 I started the car and drove it. Problem is still there. KZfaq to the rescue..... I read a comment from another video on how to turn the DTC off. One problem solved, no more noise. Your video helped me find the problem and saved me a lot of money. I just have to order the parts. The work I can do myself. Thank you very much!!! Again Thank you..

Hi ... i own a grey 2005 BMW 1 series petrol 🙂........... it had a hole in the rusted servo so the garage fitted a used one and the car drove beautiful . It's only been parked for a few weeks and it pulling hard to the right and when i just steer back left the DTC light pops on and power is lost at 2,000 rpm . I polish the car and drive it carefully............. but i wonder if they are posessed by the devil .......lol . Wow it,s cost a fortune but the garage are great and help an old friend out 🙂

Cheers Rob, just to add to the comments below, these videos are really helpful and I thank you for taking the time to record, edit and upload for us. I know the effort involved and appreciate it. I have a very similar problem, and something which adds weight to the problem, is a rubbing from the rear corner. This has definitely given me some direction, and even if not related, it's a starting point. Thanks Steve

aussiebloke609 I had to take my car in to a garage in pretty much an emergency once. I was away from home and the radiator was leaking, I had no coolant left. My fuel was low but not empty, maybe 60 miles left or so. When they finished replacing the radiator they said I was a typical customer leaving them a car with no fuel in it! Felt guilty after that, as I normally make sure it's not that empty.
