Small bmw problem

[Wazer]

Thought i would discuss a little problem I'm having with my current daily driver as this forum is quite diverse , i have a 2009 320i se with the n43b20 engine.

Its currently suffering with alot of engine hesitation with low rpm (1500-2000) whilst under load (more gas or a hill), and occasionally a engine check light lights up. Personally I'm thinking of the maf sensor or potentially a coil pack problem myself - I'm still yet to get the obd reader out to see if there are any codes.

Just wondering if anyone else had experienced or heard of any similar problems.

Cheers

Im driving a 2007 325i and all it does it tickl like a steam train even after a full service

Agreed with above. Lights = codes but an elm327 wont cut the mustard. Needs to be a bmw capable unit. Coilpack is very very likely. Mates 2008 320i ate two inside of 3 months.

Thanks for the replies, unsure on what his code reader actually is - He said it reads his 08' E92, so may work.

Just need to grab it when I have a couple of spare mins!

got the Code P0303 from his reader, Misfire from cylinder no. 3.

Time to swap the coil plug/harness to another cylinder and see if the fault changes, will do all spark plugs while i'm there.

Touch wood the fault changes cylinder, else it could be a dud coil pack or blocked injector.
