Hello,

I have just got my 34 back from its first major service since I picked it up($800!)

When I start the engine, the revs go to 1000 and then drops and stalls, all this in about 1 sec. It is an Auto (Tiptronic) I also have aircon issues which I think is the compressor. the stalling happens with the aircon on and off so I dont think it is related.

Thanks! It was a gimmie that I was takening it back, just didnt want them to pull my pants down about it.

There was a conection that goes to the top right hand side of the engie block that wasnt in fully, that has fixed the stalling problem as well as the aircon noise.

New problem now! (Yes still taking it back - AGAIN!) Every time I stop, a huge vibration/pulse shakes the engine and teh whole car, revs dont drop, it is almost like the engine is throbbing, it aslo occurs on occasion when driving at low speed but mainly at the lights.

An another note, I used to get arroubd 450+ k's out of a tank, since this service (Ingector rails cleaned, throttle body clean, Iridium s/plugs, oil fluch ECT...) Fuel consumption is 350k's WTF??

It is going back but wanted a second option as I dont like being a boomerang!

Any advise/opions?

Thanks Guys

Daz

I cant help you with the throbbing engine thing but the fuel economy thing... give it a few more tanks before you judge it. Make sure you reset the ECU by removing the battery lead thingos for a few minutes. See if that does the trick.

      But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?

      Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.

      Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.

      Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
