20 Most Recent 2006 BMW M6 Questions & Answers

The reason for this could be more than one problem. How much oil is there? Does the vehicle have any other symptoms or problems like smoky exhaust, loss of power, uneven idle? This could be a clogged PCV valve, clogged oil passages or badly worn piston rings. A PCV valve is a pressure release system for the bottom half of the engine that vents into the air filter housing. If this fails the engine can 'Burp' oil up into the air filter. They are not expensive so replacing it could be a cheap fix. Clogged oil passages usually happens to badly maintained engines where the oil isn't changed regularly and the dirty oil blocks the oil channels inside the engine. Depending on how dirty the oil is and how long ago the last oil change happen the fix could be two different methods. A major oil and filter change could fix the issue, however, if the engine is badly clogged you might need to get the engine 'flushed'. A major washout of the oil channels. The last reason is a more serious one. Worn Piston Rings. Oil is coming up past the pistons into the combustion chamber. This issue often also has thicker blue coloured exhaust smoke. This involves an engine rebuild to repair so mechanics often recommend a full engine swap. A rebuild is Major surgery for an engine.

Take trim back off. See if start. If start, leave trim off. You may have one of those grounding trim cars where you put the trim on and it shorts the battery and then there's not enough electrical electrons to start the motor.

the most common oil leak on the m5 and m6 is the vanos high pressure line located on the front of the engine in fact this is the only area in which i have seen a leak on this car in the shop

Have you checked your fuses ? Might also want to begin checking for power from the fuse panel to the light assembly.

Hi, you need to explain the problem your having a bit in order for us to help you. Please describe your problem in detail so we will be able to assist.

Hi,
That terminal is up front because the battery is in the trunk and less accessible. You can hook the charger up positive to the underhood post you mentioned. If there is no negative post shown in the manual, keep in mind that the whole chassis and engine is grounded. Any exposed metal parts should work - a shock tower bolt for example.

You can hook the charger directly to the battery in the trunk too, but the above should work just fine.

remember this is not a warning about oil level, that is another system, this is the engine oil pressure warning, this means the oil pressure being read by the oil pressure sending unit is below about 5-10 pounds per square inch or PSI, at this low of pressure the engine bearings can be damaged as well as other components like the valve train parts, the thing to do here is have the oil pressure tested by a shop with a special calibrated mechanical test gauge, the one in the car is electronic, u may just have a defective oil pressure sending unit, but take no chances, if the pressure is really low engine damage will occur soon, get the oil pressure PSI checked ASAP, if it is ok then the shop will replace the oil pressure sending unit on the engine, about a $100 part.

If you have a multimeter remove and test the fuses for continuity (OHMS) as fuses can look OK but they have blown. If your replacing fuses ONLY replace the with one of the Same colour and Amp rating.

Question edited for clarity. changed your Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) into Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV), and added some punctuation to make real sentences. Your car is run by computers, the computers have diagnostics and will tell you what's wrong. You can't guess faults like you have. A Professional Grade Scan Tool computer can diagnose all the computers, modules, sensors and systems in about 40 minutes. It can even record what happens and what goes wrong as you are driving! https://www.google.com/search?q=mobile+auto+electrician+near+me ..
