1996 BMW 7 Series - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Find the cable under your steering wheel just above the foot break then pull it.

Where are they coming from?

I would replace the mass air flow sensor this is in the air intake tube

Carb spray, make sure it's ok for your car.

Under the hood, passenger side. at the fire wall you will find a small cover 2" x8" approx. This is where they hide the cabin air filter.

Auto or standard transmission?

behind the centre console

Welcome to Fixya

First thing to do is to check the battery using a voltmeter. See if you are getting 12 to 13V reading. If you are getting below 12V then its time to replace the battery. If you are getting 12 to 13V reading then you need to tell more regarding the issue. Couple of questions are: is the engine cranks everytime you turn the key to start position? are you hearing unusual noise whent you turn the key to start position?

hi sounds like you have a leaking heater core if you can smell antifreeze that sickly sweet smell is a give away its also worth checking your cabin filters arent blocked with leaves or debris ,if its not blocked cabin filters and you cant afford to replace the heater core a good fix is to use a cooling system sealer like "k" seal which is often seen as a temporary repair but quite honestly does a good job of fixing small leaks good luck

Shop around they vary greatly anywhere from $85 to $235 that's just the part not labor to install. Shop around and get one with a good warranty.

Blower relay is bad (common probe in idler BMWs)

That's the first signs of a weak fuel pump. You might also want to replace fuel filter, but your fuel pump is going to need replacing.

Hello,

You need to trace the hose that leads to the power steering fluids reservoir. The reservoir is by the driver side in front of the engine near the ground. see that canister in front of the engine with the screw top, that is it. Trace the hose that leads out from it to the pump. That is the power steering pump.

Take care and good luck.
Hope this helps

Chances are about 0. Price depends on where you are. Shop I work at around $2500 if its an automatic, stick could be more or less depending on damage.

your anti theft system may be causeing it you may have to enter a code into your radio any time you replace battery code has to be entered dealer will help you if you call them

At the bottom of the engine

Of course, but it's never the problem. It's always the fuel pump that needs to be replaced.

Sounds like the timing belt has slipped a tooth. Recommend inspecting timing belt, and replace if it has slipped. If you have more questions, please reply.

NO, it has went into limp mode to prevent damage to the engine. Time to call you BMW dealer.

The dealer is your best bet. Just had mine done and they didn't even charge me.
