Bmw 5 F10 problems and failures

BMW 5 F10 in gasoline, sudden loss of power, and a failure lamp that indicate a failure of the engine, most often due to a failure of the high-pressure fuel pump.

With older 2.0 diesel engines marked N47, there are problems with tensioners and camshaft chains. The problem is manifested by noise under the hood. If the problem, ie the chain and tensioners, are not replaced in a short period of time, it can lead to serious engine failure.

2.0 diesel engines, in some cases, regeneration of DPF caused diesel fuel to leak into the engine oil. The problem occurs when the vehicle is driven predominantly in cities and when efficient regeneration at high engine speeds is not possible.

The engine may overheat due to problems between the electric water pump and the control module and the water pump itself.

On earlier models, the "check engine" light can come on and the engine may stop due to a problem with the original coil. BMW later replaced the original coils with Bosch coils.

The 'electronic steering lock' light illuminates and / or the vehicle will not start if the battery is empty at start-up.

Speedometer vibration and / or idle tachometer needles require reprogramming.

The flat tire warning light may illuminate if the sensor is not reset after changing the tire.

The fixing screws on the VANOS housing can become loose. There will be an internal oil leak, and then the valve opening will no longer adjust due to the reduced oil pressure. The vehicle then enters engine failure mode and the engine warning lamp illuminates permanently. For vehicles with N51 / N52 petrol engines, this message would appear on the next ignition; for the N55 petrol engine, the message would appear immediately.

A number of owners report damage to the air conditioner condenser as a result of the condenser being exposed to stones from the road while driving.

In the case of initial models, failures of the modules that control the lights occur. The problem is due to corrosion of the electronic circuit.

Increased number of rear camera problems.

Due to the high power consumption while the vehicle is stationary, the battery may be discharged for long periods of time.

A large number of owners have complained of a gas pedal failure.

Some owners report problems with the Idrive system and the multimedia unit.
