Drivetrain

yousefmos · 12-29-2016, 06:35 PM

Hello folks! My bmw 328i f30 start having drivetrain problem after changing the 4 sparks. The car would feel like lack of fuel then drivetrain will appear on idrive.
I've changed
Sparks
Fuel injectors
Oil
Transmission oil with new filter.
Nothing seems to help I went to dealer and he said the car is okay but whenever I press on gas pedal till the end the car start cracking
Like lack of fuel and boom drivetrain appears.
I've done everything possible nothing seems to work. I've never had this problem before changing the bloody sparks
Any help? Thanks

Have you got the error codes?

Get an OBD dongle and error code app and find out what's going on.

Buy OEM Spark Plugs. Or check the gap on the ones you put in. Also Coil packs might be an issue as well. Code reader will be your best friend or take it to the Stealership and have them check it out and do a test drive with the tech to show him the issue.

The question of why the OP changed the plugs hasn't been addressed. They would seem the root of the problem.

Also might be that you maybe mixed up the coil packs when putting them in but shouldn't really matter as they are universal but car breaking up on the top end more than likely is bad spark plugs or loose spark plugs (not tightened correctly).

This happened to me as well. Took my car into the dealer and they gave it back with a CEL after replacing the spark plugs. They claimed it had to be from my catless downpipe but I told them it couldn't be. So I went home to check it out and had no codes pop up, went back to the dealer told them that it was their fault since it happened on their end, told them I wouldn't leave until it was fixed. Got the car back and the SA said it was the turbo pressure line, said it was hard to tell because of everything I had done to the car.
