any BMW techs on here? Fault code help needed.
Discussion
I have posted this on other fora - but PH always comes up trumps so I'll give it a go here.
Wife has an E93 320i cab.
Not been running great - hesitant below 2000 rpm - quite badly sometimes.
Got an engine light last week.
Bought Creader V to read and reset DTCs.
Got two BMW specific codes - but the reader cannot tell me what they are. Googled and found one of them:
P114C - Post Catalyst Fuel Trim via Oxygen Sensor SYstem Too Rich (Bank 2)
P124C - NOT FOUND THIS CODE YET!
The 'freeze data' function captures data when an engine light is thrown. It had some trim data from the P124c error:
ST Bank1 3.11%
LT Bank1 -3.13%
ST Bank2 0.77%
LT Bank2 -5.77%
So, does this suggest bank 2 post cat sensor is knackered?
Which is bank2? Driver or passenger side?
I am not averse to taking this to a garage - but in my previous experience they tend to just read codes and change sensors, then when the problem persists just say 'that's modern cars for you' and change more sensors.
I want some proper, old fashioned diagnosis!!
