Bmw faults EMlight on and no power at all

Hi Anon
To find out what the problem is, you will have to get the code read as this will indicate what the fault is, when the engine management light comes on it could be 1000's of different things, so each error has its own code, you will have to take it to a garage or dealership to enable them to connect a diagnostics reader to your vehicle, reduced power is telling you , you can only drive it slowly as there is a fault and it is not 100% sure what the fault is ( car computers are not intelligent they just know something is wrong ) so it is saying reduce your speed until the fault is fixed. hope that halps

Yes, if the engine don't have enough oil to keep it lubed it will cause heat and friction that could damage or destro

Is your oil level or radiator coolant level low? It sounds like the engine is going into "Limp Home" mode to save the engine.

You have a code

Diagnose & resolve all code related issues first

Type: BMW OBD P1380

According to the above results, doubt the fuel pump problem,use BMW ICOM to check.The vehicle road test and read data.May the fuel pump is insufficient, resulting in high pressure fuel pressure is too low, resulting in engine fault light

The low power is because the cpu has put the car in limp home mode. You need to run a scan diagnostic on car. AUTO zone will do this for free.

Who fitted the pump?

If the pump was fitted wrong it may have air in the pipes, it might need bleeding through, alternatively the fault could be the power steering rack and not the pump.

Hope this helps,

SOUND LIKE POWER STEERING PUMP SHAFT BEARING IS SCORED.YOU CAN OVER HAUL POWER STEERING PUMP OR BUY A REBUILT ONE.

after replacing the battery, battery replacement has to be registered in the power module.Newer bmw's can experience battery draw issues. usually after battery replacment the active steering has to be re-aligned. you can try turning the steering wheel lock to lock to see if that solves your problem (usually only works on older cars) if you can find a shop that has a GT1 (bmw's older diagnostic equipment) they should be able to reset the light. At the same time if the vehicle has a battery draw and the power module is disconnecting the battery when the charge level gets low,that is your root problem and you will end up with an active steering fault over and over

i have a 1995 bmw 318tds compact that when i try to start it will not turn over i have changed the glow plugs they heat up but there is no power going to them dose anyone no the answer
