Hi Peeps im new to the mini scene and last weekend i bought a 2011 1.6 diesel manual All 4, i normally research all known faults before buying a vehicle but this time i just didnt get round to it and im all ready starting to worry.
First fault when driving in slow traffic if you then go to increase you speed ever so much there seems to be what i would call turbo lag and then it eventually does pick up and then accelerates normally, now the other day then engine management light came on and we had it checked for codes and there was one code p116d which i believe is related to the Air Mass Flow sensor, but from looking on this forum it could be linked to so many other things now the previous owner said that they had the EGR valve replace and the glow plugs replaced and all was fine, strange after 4 days of ownership it goes tits up, now im worring about the cam chain, cat being blocked, or dpf being blocked any advice would be appreciated thanks steve.

Sorry I knee I would forget something it's got 68000 mlies which I believe is ideal for everythin to go wrong and thanks for the reply.

Cheers Mike do you have any thoughts about the fault code I have. And does the the feeling of turbo lag sound correct issues for the possible part blocked dpf thanks again.

Thanks again pal. I'm in West Yorkshire any recommendations up this way to have it mapped and removed or cleaned thanks.

Thanks Mike i will have to do a little bit of re search,just another quick question what oil/grade would you suggest for my diesel with 68000 miles and is it worth doing a bit of a engine flush cheers.

Again thanks Mike, you say put it straight into the crankcase do you mean through the oil filler cap, also everytime we get back from a fairly short journey around 10miles the fan is always stays on when we turn the engine off could this be something different the the dpf issue thanks.

 

[stevepaulwidds]

sorry and what oil and grade would you suggest.

Thanks guys, quick update ive since had the car to multiple garages, most being independent, one did a forced regen on the dpf and said it was working fine but then said he didnt have anytime over the following weeks to look at it lol, the next one found the egr solenoid was sticking so freed it off and he said it seemed better but i didnt think so, he also thought the maf needed replacing so i replaced bot solonoid and maf which didnt solve the problem and again that garage then said he was too busy to book it back in, finally took it to BMW to put on diagnostics, which they apparently they reset alot of things to almost factory settings(not quite sure what they meant) and although he said he hadnt test driven it before he said it drove quite well but if the symptoms came back then he thought it would need a EGR valve and cooler, ive taken the cooler and egr valve off and cleaned them both out and nothing seems seized or even that carboned up, and still the same fault is there and i dont fancy replacing the egr and cooler as its £550 just for the parts, im kind of getting pissed off with this car just at the moment and not quite sure what to do with it at the moment....anybody want to buy a car lol...
