Engine tempature probe on block is bad and grounded inside, or the wire leading to the engine block heat sensor is shorted to ground.

Did you replace the spark plugs with the same brand recommended by ? Might also what to go over all the wiring harnesses, you disconnected when replacing the exhaust. Might of pinched a wire.

My 2002 BMW 318i e46 oil pressure light goes off with start up and comes back on after a few seconds and stays on for 90 seconds -can any body help please( the car has done 350000 km

The VERY 1ST thing you need done here is to have a mechanical test gauge hooked up to the engine and verify the oil pressure is ok, then if it is replace the oil pressure sending unit on the engine. Do not drive this until you are sure the pressure is good, you can quickly burn up the bearings and ruin a very expensive engine.

Cylinder head torque settings bmw 318i m43

Hi dear40,

The m43 engine should be similar to both the m42 and m44. The cylinder head torque settings are 22ft/lb and 90degree torque angle, and another 90 degree torque angle. Make sure to wait approximately 10minutes before performing the 2nd torque angle.

On a cold start, the engine struggles

probably a bad air/flow sensor, try to clean it with sensor cleaner, its by the air intake filter box. if not clean the throttle body really good.

pls vote.

Gauge temperature

Your description of the problem is not very clear. It seems as if your temp gauge does not work, or does not indicate the correct temperature.
If you disconnect the wire from the sensor unit and put it to battery negative (ground), the gauge should move to the full hot position. If this does not happen the best chance is that the gauge does not work. If it does work, the sensor is faulty. In a very unlikely situation, the wire could be faulty..
