Sudden loss of power while driving




By leatitiak on Nov 11, 2009

" "
Car drives fine then all of a sudden there's this loss of power where I can only reach 60km / h

This problem used to come and go, but this morning it happened on my way to work and it never came right.

The car has no power at all, it revs high, but has no power in the drive.

Please help

Oh, I've got a BMW E36 TDS

Hi There, You need to check you automatic transmission fluid (ATF) levels which controls your power steering, if it is drained you need to top it up if the container is cracked, you need to change it. Next, your engine needs retuning to stem down the excessive revving.
Cheers,
