get the obd2 diagnostic device

vibration probably caused by misfires

this can be due to either sparkplugs or coilpacks

if you don't know if they've ever been replaced before, this could be it and replace them with iridium spark plugs and splitfire coilpacks and guarenteed you'll never get a problem related to spark plugs and coilpacks ever again. My engine light has come on too and this is a month after changing 1 coilpack cause i was saving money, now another light has come on so it could be coilpacks, im saving up for splitfires and a replacement of all 6 of them, sigh so much trouble

pretty sure the r34 isn't OBD2, it's consult.

if the car was running like crap and then the engine light came on, pretty sure that you will have an issue with the coils. do a search on fault codes. you don't need a consult cable to check them, but it does make it easier.

in victoria where can i buy one of these 'consult' things and what do you mean you don't need the consult cable to check it?

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
