My coupe threw an inlet camshaft error code last week and the engine management light came on - the car still drove fine but turned over much longer before firing and ran lumpy for the first couple of minutes
Anyway I'd previously fitted one on a couple of Z3's so I ordered the sensor with intention of swapping it out myself. To my dismay once the sensor arrived I found that replacing the existing one was a much more difficult task than it had been on the Z3.
So I took it down to my mechanic but what should have been a relatively quick job turned in to a nightmare when the head of the bolt securing the sensor snapped off. In the end he managed to fabricate a bracket to hold it in until he could take a proper look at it but told me to keep my eye out for any oil leaks from the sensor. Its been fine since and the starting issue has gone along with the EML so fingers crossed the bracket does it's job until its next service is due. Just wondered if anyone had experienced a similar problem?
