I have owned my 2.2 litre Z3 for 10 years ... I love it but am concerned that problems with my ASC and ABS will kill the car . I just sent the abs module away for repair but both warning lights are still on. I am now wondering if its the pump motor. The repair workshop... based in Exeter flagged a pump motor fault on the module..Could the pump be knackered as well ? I have a spare unit.. not sure of condition. I am guessing a BMW dealer will be very expensive. I also run a jaguar xk8 ... 1996.

Have you not had the error codes read ?..oh and Welcome

I had an auto electrical guy check it before I sent the module away. He couldn't get any of his readers to connect to the module.. I think he tried 4 different ones. He concluded a fault with the module. I sent it to be repaired... they indicated code fault 71 abs pump motor . They didn't say if the fault lay in the unit or in the pump. Anyway £250 worse off and no further ahead with ASC and ABS lights still on!

...and things like ABS sensors etc all checked out ok ? If there is a BMW independent near you with proper diag equipment if could stop you throwing good money after bad.

Yes .... that's probably the best thing to do. Otherwise it feels like guesswork.

Hi and to the forum from me too in Stafford. Where are you located [guessing Bristol], there may be someone close to you with a code reader who may be able to offer some help.

I am over in Newport and run the Zedshed Cymru Group of members from this Forum and the Z4 Forum on WhatsApp. Have diagnostics available if you are in need of a scan. The Shed is my home garage where I have a lift and members supply any parts and oil etc and its left to the individual if they make a donation to the Shed for running costs and sundries we might use. We have a fair number of Bristol based members within the Group as well as all the Welsh members across South Wales. If you want to join us send me a pm with telephone number so you can be added into the Group.

Great offer @colb

Thanks for the offer... I am on the Isle of wight... so not very handy !! I have booked it in with bmw dealer for an assessment.

Ouch! They won’t be cheap. There are a few independents just over on the mainland. Iridium in Hedge End are good.

£130 .... So not horrendous

 

[colb]

What did they do for that?
