Top 20 2002 BMW 5 Series - Page 5 Questions & Answers

Hi,
If you check the picture below it shows you where the drain plug on the sump is, you need to remove the splash guard under the vehicle to see it though.


Hope this helps you out, if you need more information let me know.
Thanks

security system thinks your trying to steal it. Try locking and unlocking the front doors manually with the key.

is the car smoking blue or is the oil leeking out ?

if the is consuming oil by buring it while driving the faults are either :

Valve seats / Burnt valves
Piston Rings
or sump compression which can force oil into the combustion chamber causing it to burn it and expel the burnt oil via the exhaust system.

Either way, its going to pretty expensive on a 2002 5 series.

Try this procedure and let me know if it does not work.

1. Ignition key in the "Off" or "0" position.

2. Press and hold the odometer button and turn the ignition key to the "Accessory" or "1" position.

3. Keep the odometer button pressed in until you see the following words in the display, "oil service", or "inspection" with "reset" or "re".

4. Press and hold down the odometer button again until "reset" or "re" flash.

5. While the display is flashing, press the odometer button again briefly but do not hold it down this time to reset the service interval indicator. After the display has shown a new service interval then "END SIA" should appear in the display for two seconds.

If the procedure fails the first time then repeat the procedure and it should clear the service interval indicator.

When your typ BMW 5.serie is E60/61 confirm air tyre presure and reset RPA (reifen pannen anzaige) in to i-Drive menu/setting/car/RPA.
When your typ BMW 5.serie is E39 ,here are systems used by the RDC and RSC!
RDC confirm tyre value and a more settled ride system itself sets the RSC and the system would have had on the center tunnel RSC she button pressed the system will reboot.

driver side seat will not go up

you need to reset the immobiliser/alarm.

the blower motor is usually located above the drivers feet ,
a blunt tap at the center of the assembly , may start it up,
indicating a bad motor, if not a fuse or power/ground problem.

Golden rule with batterys..

The Positive terminal is ALWAYS physically larger that the Negative.(ie larger battery post ) The Negative will be the EARTH connection ( bolted to car body and engine) There may be hard to see (-) or (+) on battery leads . Colours do not matter either as manufacturers vary on this !
Good Luck

yes you can replace air susp with others, also instal coil springs

Hello,

Under the spare tire in the trunk. You will need an 11mm and 13mm sockets or wrenches to remove it.

Take care.

if there is an airbag in the steering wheel, think long and hard about pulling it off yourself. you will end up at a dealer getting it put back together correctly. i would look for a video on the lock cylinder over on youtube. often you can pull off cosmetic steering column surrounds and get at the ignition switch parts.

fuse box is most likely under dash, your vehicle hand book will have info on location @ amp fuse sizes @ locations

9 out of 10 times a defective battery/ charging system causes problems with transmission. Why? because a computer controls your transmission. Have battery and charging system checked out.

p1345 is not a transmission code, it's a misfire cylinder #2 with fuel cut off

its not a screw on type its inside a housing ,but sorry i cannot remember weither on the top right hand side ,it will have something like a 22/24 mm nut shape on top of the plastic housing

jump the car to get trunk open. Then, please see my tip at http://www.fixya.com/cars/r5925550-dead_battery_troubleshooting and let me know if you have questions.
