Hello friends.
I have 523i N52 engine. 2008
Please help if someone has come across this.
The problem I have is when I’m driving in traffic or coming up to a stop I notice the idling changes and sounds as if the car will switch off, this happens for a brief moment and goes back to normal. At the same time the l/100km needle jumps around like crazy before settling down. The rpms are constant at around 6 or 700 (estimate)
When I am on highway everything is fine, but my fuel consumption has gone up over the last few months ever since I started to notice this problem.
The other problem is sometimes the car struggles to start, I have press engine start a few times. I am getting worried now because it’s happening more frequently than before.
I am not sure where to start as it could get very costly if I don’t get to the root cause.
Initially I thought it could be fuel pump & filter but recently someone told me it might me related to air leak or something like that.
Does anyone have any ideas where I can start looking? I would really appreciate your insight.
I am waiting for my obd2 scanner which I’ve orders to see if it pick any codes.
Thanks in advance!
