I know this isnt a BM site but please help (because I cant be bothered to register on a bmw one )

My mrs has a 2.0L straight six e36, the things a bit gutless till about 3.5/4 k revs and the fuel consumption is 18mpg

Im guessing an airflow meter but would this cause poor fuel consumption?

Thanks in advance

 

sounds like the maf sensors buggered

 

Is that an Airflow meter? the hotwire sensor on the intake?

 

I've just had my Merc diagnosed as that as it was doing exactly the same thing as your description. Have a browse on here as its pretty handy for info http://www.bmwland.co.uk/talker/inde...4656225795ed40

You'll notice quite a few Passionforders on there as well

 

isnt that about standard for the 320? as gutless as a 316 with the fuel consumption of a 325 .the 320 is the worse on all levels unfortunately.

 

sounds like air flow meter to me.

Sell a lot of these at work, just dont be cheap and get a generic one, more trouble than they r worth...

 

My old 323i only used to manage about 23mpg

 

A lot of people on here now have nice reliable German replacements so ask away.

 

Cheers guys!

320 worst of the bunch! now you tell me

A fountain of knowledge this place
