exhaust.

[kuSt]

hi, my exhaust is blowing slightly somewhere near the front section/manifold, would this effect the running of the car? it splutters/misses before its warmed up.

thanks.

Unlikely to be the cause of your problems.
Blue temp sensor is a much more likely cause.

[kuSt]

right thanks brian, could you tell me where the blue temp sensor is?! or the part # so i can find it on the bmwfans site.

thanks again.

you cant miss the temp sensor its on the water pump right at the front of the engine at the top.

oh and its blue.

i was searching for a pic but i dont have one....

Could be a M40!

[kuSt]

sorry, forgot to mention its an m40. is it somewhere near the injectors?

thanks

[Brianmoooore]

The blue temp sensor on a M40 is approximately half way along the engine under the inlet manifold, and is not easy to get at!

[Chris-W]

Much easier to get at with the inlet manifold removed. You can check the it's gaskets whilst doing so

aah ok, thanks again gents.
