Hi
My yellow engine warning light came on the other day. This has happened three or four times before with other BMWs I have owned if the car got low on fuel or I used a different grade of fuel (95 instead of 99 for instance).
It usually clears a few miles down the road after refilling. In this instance the light came on after I had refilled the car as the fuel tank was low.
As usual the engine warning light went off after a couple of miles driving - I assumed all was fine - although a few miles later the light came back on and stayed on.
Its been that way for maybe 10 more miles driving.
I've decided not to use the car and invest in a PEAKE code reader to see what the problem might be before taking the car to a mechanic/stealer.
The fault codes I've taken from the car as as follows
Table 1b:
69: Engine Coolant temperature. Plausibility
35: Electronic Fan (relay)
Od: PreCat 02 sensor, Cyl # 1-3
90: Fuel Control, Cyl # 1 - 3
91: Fuel Control, Cyl # 4 - 6
95: Misfire w/ empty fuel tank
Can anyone throw any light on whether it might be a single issue causing all the codes? Or whether these parts all need individually replacing?
I also changed both MAF sensors around 5K miles ago if this makes any diff?
There seems to be a few related threads on the forum, but I cant find anything with enough in common to gauge an onion on my problem.
Also I'm based in Norwich (UK) anyone know any decent Indy mechanics in the area?
Cheers for any advice.
Simon
