BMW 316ti Problem - swanian
I have a problem with my 2002 BMW 316ti Compact. When the car is started from cold, it is very 'spluttery' (as if the choke hadn't been out for long enough!) and noisy. Once it has warmed up, it still seems 'flat' and as if it is in need of fuel. I have taken it to my local dealer 5 times, but they can't find anything wrong with it!!

Does anyone have any ideas please???

What state are the plugs in? Suggest you get tune-up or hometune round to have a look at it, and stay with it whilst hey work on it so you can find out exactly what they find, as they find it.

Dos some basic checks such as Plugs, ; HT leads, condition of air filter etc, then ask for the air mass meter to be looked at ..
