Engine Q&A 2000 BMW 528i

  • Why does the check engine light in my 528i turn on when I start my car? It’s usually normal for your check engine light to turn on upon ignition. This is a sign that your vehicle is testing 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? Unusual noises can signal a problem with your BMW 528i engine. Tapping or knocking could mean you're low on oil. Whistling sounds could mean you have an intake leak or misaligned belt. Squealing can be traced back to a loose fan belt, and grinding might be coming from the brakes, not the engine.
  • What could damage my BMW 528i engine? Certain driving habits can hurt your engine. These habits include driving on an empty fuel tank, revving your engine while the vehicle is in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Protect your engine’s performance and efficiency by distancing yourself from these habits.
  • Can I add water to my BMW 528i radiator? An emergency is the only time you should consider putting water in your radiator. Outside of that, it’s recommended you use a pre-mixed coolant or a 50/50 blend of water and coolant. However, if you need to continue driving your 528i when you’re out of coolant, having water in the coolant reservoir is better than nothing.
  • What can cause the engine in my 528i to suddenly stop? There are different reasons your 528i vehicle engine could suddenly stop. You may be looking at a lack of fuel, faulty sensors, issues with the ignition system, engine overheating, electrical problems, or mechanical troubles.
