OK,

Time for an update. I had some time on my hands yesterday, so thought I would start her up and keep her running. Once the engine had warmed up, she was ticking over quite nicely.

First thing to do is try those pulse generators I guess.

Thanks for the info guys, I will have a look at the connections this coming weekend and keep you informed.

Shame about Munich Legends, I only moved from East Grinstead area last year. Still, thank heavens for the telephone.

Sohlman's started celebrating early!

Munich Legends are on 01825 740456 (East Sussex, just south of East Grinstead).

Glad they managed to sort your car Sohlman. They're handy people to know.

I had a similar problem with my six not so long ago. Replaced just about everything and most of it was not needed. I would suspect it is either the fuel pump relays of which there are two you will need. One has 4 pin the other has 5. Or the pulse  genrators which are sensors that mount onto the side of the engine and gearbox bell housing. These feed the ecu with information about temperature revs etc. If these don't fix it then cost implications go up. You will then have to look at idle control valves, airflow meters and ECU's.

  • Fule Pump relays aprox £5-10 although BMW will charge you £40
  • Pulse generators approx £35 each 2 needed
  • Air flow meter £50-75 s/h, £130 reconditiones, £200 new.
  • ECU approx £150 s/h and £300+ new

I would have a chat with munich legends who sorted my car out and will be able to supply you with those various parts, Give Barney a tinckle on 07825 740456

Hi everyone!

Up until recently my beloved 6 has been running fine.

However, she recently developed a problem when all power was lost whilst driving and she would not restart. One cold wait for the AA and a tow later, I have recharged the battery and although I can now get the engine running, she will not tick over and stalls as soon as I lift off the throttle.

Any ideas? (Preferably not expensive ones as I have just moved house and my budget has understandably shrunk).
