Issues at Startup

Recommended Posts

Guys

325 1994.

Car is garaged overnight. Gets cold but not as cold as outside I guess. Appears absolutely fine when running.

About 3 weeks ago, noticed a very short 'squeak' on the odd startup. Also noticed when it squeaked the engine revved a lot more at startup for a split second..

Has become a little worse over the last week and noticed one day the oil light flickered on and off then everything was fine.

This morning, turned the ignition over, engine fired, short squeak followed by a very shuddery engine - almost struggling to turn over, oil light flickered on and off, several more ' squeaks' then after about 20 secs of sitting she picked up fine. Drove into work with no problems...

Have to wait 4 days before I can book it in as BMW are chocca...Any thoughts on what it is? No warning lights on dash apart from the oil light, no fault codes appear to register... I don't want to goose the motor..

Cheers

Ged
