J~~ 0 Report post Posted July 12, 2010 Okay I own a 92 318i. Yesterday night after work I noticed the car was starting very slowly, like it was tired or something. I drove home. Turned off my car restarted again to see if it still had that problem. It was fine. This morning my car wouldn't start at all. Battery etc are all fine. Even tryed jumpstarting but didn't help. When I turn the keys I can only hear clicking noises... Don't know what's wrong, any help appreciated! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Could it be fuel pump? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
