Questions About 1995 BMW 318i Engines

  • Why does the check engine light in my 318i turn on when I start my car? It's okay if your check engine light comes on when you first start your vehicle. It’s just your 318i firing up its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.
  • Why does my BMW engine sound different? Strange engine sounds can be a sign something’s off in your BMW 318i. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. A high-pitched whistle could signal an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be a sign of brake problems rather than engine issues.
  • What could damage my BMW 318i engine? Certain driving habits can damage your engine and should be avoided. These habits include 'running on fumes,' revving the engine while still in Park, or slamming the gas pedal while the engine is still cold. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.
  • Can I use water in my BMW 318i radiator? While it’s not recommended, you can use water in your 318i radiator in emergencies.
