Lurching upon low gear acceleration

Post by Tayloi2 » Tue Mar 05, 2019 11:01 pm

Hi everyone,

I've only had my Z4 since November and I'm currently experiencing quite worrying symptoms when driving.

Over the last week, the car is lurching quite badly when accelerating (not harshly) in first and second gear. I'm not sure if it's related but my EML has been illuminated since I had to replace the battery a couple of weeks back. The alternator has been checked and been given the all-clear. My concern is that it may be the fuel pump but with limited knowledge, I don't want to assume.

Thanks for reading. Any advice is more than welcome.

Lurching upon low gear acceleration

Sorry I can't really offer any suggestions, but I imagine a good starting point would be to get the On Board Diagnostics read for fault codes and then go from there.

There are members on here with Carly which I think would help - here's a link to the thread:- viewtopic.php?p=1522557
