I would be surprised if the op even has a key start anyway. The car will have start/stop so there is one module that can interrupt correct starting (it has the facility to stop you trying to start with the key if it thinks the car is stopped due to the stop/start being active) and there are about 20 sensors that could be wrongly telling it that it is. Something like the F30 can have numerous problems all causing the same symptoms. Not least because you need the car to be having the problem at the same time as you are trying to diagnose it. actually been out twice after 14 weeks stuck in the house.Īn intermittent problem like this is a nightmare to try and diagnose. I actually want to sell the car but until it's permanently fixed I can't and wouldn't anyway. Apparently, most of the Bosch power tools are now made in China. and they are building another £44 million plant now. The only thing it can be ( I hope) is the starter ?īTW most of BMW engine electrics are made in Hungary. Went out yesterday started fine, went to sisters, came out started fine, got home switched off tried to start it and uh, uh, uh. Alternator is perfect, battery is brand new Exide (£150) and cranking voltage is above the limit. It can work perfectly for lots of starts and then uh, uh, uh, like a flat battery. Even had the gearbox off as a BMW indie said it was the toothed annulus ring around the crank wasn't.Ĭar will start perfectly and then next time it's like the battery is almost flat.
Had allsorts of new cables to and from battery and three earth straps. This is the 3rd starter although the 2nd one was a cheapo and I went back to the original. This 'intermittent fault' is driving me mad, costing too much and still not fixed. yes I think I will test and leave well alone.
