Common issues seen with BMW vehicles

01

DPF Problems: Your Diesel Particulate Filter removes harmful substances from emissions. Malfunctions often seen in BMWs can result in dark smoke from your exhaust. Noticing dark smoke from your vehicle? Call our BMW specialist Grange Over Sands immediately.

02

Crank Pulley Problems: Your BMW’s crank pulley ensures the cambelt’s movement. If your engine vibrates or turns over unevenly, let our technicians investigate this common issue with BMWs. Contact Athersmith Motor Services, your local independent BMW specialist.

03

Oil Level/Burning Oil: Seeing blue smoke from your exhaust or black oil puddles beneath your BMW? It could indicate an issue not uncommon to BMWs. Low oil can cause various problems if not addressed, many are critical. Don’t wait; call Athersmith Motor Services for a comprehensive solution.

04

Timing Issues: If unburnt fuel leaves your exhaust or you hear ticking or knocking noises, it might signal a timing problem that can often be seen in BMWs. Don’t let it worsen. Call our garage and book your BMW specialist Grange Over Sands for a complete fix.

05

EGR Valves: Decreased performance and rapid fuel consumption may be signs of a blocked EGR valve, an issue that can be regularly seen in BMWs. Prevent further issues by contacting our team for a high-quality solution.

06

Swirl Flap Problems: Your BMW swirl flaps improve fuel efficiency. When they fail, which they often can do in BMWs, severe engine damage can occur. If you notice whooshing sounds while accelerating, contact Athersmith Motor Services right away.

07

Carbon Build-up: A buildup of carbon in your engine can cause engine vibrations, jerking or difficulty starting your car. Noticed these symptoms? Call Athersmith Motor Services and let our BMW specialist Grange Over Sands have a look.

08

HP Pump Problems: High-Pressure fuel pumps inject fuel into your BMW’s engine. When they malfunction, which can often happen with a BMW, your car might stop working. Reach out to Athersmith Motor Services for help if your engine fails to start.

09

EGR Coolers: Your EGR coolers help maintain cool emissions. If your engine is overheating or you have a leaky exhaust, it could indicate an EGR cooler issue. Call our team today and schedule your BMW specialist Grange Over Sands.

10

Manifolds Melting: Your manifold prevents your engine from overheating. However, BMWs are known to experience melting manifold issues. If you experience a hot/burning smell or reduced performance, contact our BMW specialists immediately.

    Had my timing belt done on my Volvo V60 at a price very competitive compared to main dealer. A member of the team who lives near to me collected the car, and delivered it back at the end of the same day when the work was done. A couple of other issues were also picked up on and sorted within the same day. Excellent service, really down to earth staff, 100% recommend!

    Given that I wasn’t local and was a little late to drop my car off as I’d promised, the guys did a fantastic job at fitting me in. They were the friendliest and most efficient garage I’ve come across in a good while. Their communication was first class and the bill was very good value. I’ll definitely be taking my car back to them.

    My first time at Athersmith.
    I live in Carnforth and took my car to Athersmith in Ulverston because they had great reviews, and are a high end car specialist.
    Better value than a BMW dealer garage.
    They were very thorough and very friendly.
    I will be using Athersmith for future work on my BMW.

    Our camper needed quite a bit of work doing on it, the sort of job where the quote makes you wince a bit though they clearly explained the total bill would depend on the condition of the existing parts once they could inspect them fully. Thankfully, the existing bit didn't need replacing. We're very pleased to have our van back on the road even if we can't afford to put fuel in it anymore ;-)... Read More
