Hi mate,
It’s just an obd2 scanner with torque pro. About a month ago, my car would randomly stall when i did warm starts. One day it completely died and the engine would crank but wouldn’t start. Me and 3 euro mechanics stripped the car and found out that it was the knock sensor, vanos and crank position. Couldn’t reset the vanos as the car would stall at 80 degrees. Fast forward a week after the repair and I got this exact same knocking issue that old mate was talking about. It only does it on cold starts and starts about 10 seconds after engine starts running. Lasts about 10 seconds or so. I’ve had the camshaft sensor errors before the car died and even after taking every single sensor out of the car and cleaning them, they reappeared a few days later (could there be an oil leak making them dirty.). Sometimes I have a 2 -3 second crank on warm starts but the car drives well. Someone mentioned an oil separator as a potential issue for the knocking noise, coil pack has also been thrown around. What are your thoughts ? After the repairs I had p0300, p0340, p0369, p1083, p1085, p1343, p1347. My mechanic who’s a mate scanned the depths of it with a bmw tool and gave the car back to me with no errors apparently. Kind of nervous because just before the car broke down, I had the 2 camshaft errors before getting the crank position error. I cleared all the codes and gave my car a run and the only two errors reappearing are the camshaft sensors. We reset the transmission and a few other things. I’d pay for any advice on the knocking noises and camshaft errors. Cheers
