BMW 316i SE 2001 Cam Sensor Replace DIY orange light SRS

My BMW 316i SE 2001 had an intermitant starting problem. Sometimes it would start ok, other times it would try to turn over but not start, then show up SRS orange light error and turn the hand brake warning light orange.

A new forward/intake Cam Sensor was required.

A garage wanted to charge me £150. I researched it and found it was a 3 minute job, so did it myself.

Hopefully this CAM sensor Replace DIY will help you too!

Hi,

Thanks, this is exactly what i needed....

Any chance you have you come across links that point to changing the crankshaft sensor also...I have a BMW 316i SE (E46) with M43 engine.

Thanks again

@harrybo11 Sorry I haven't needed to do this yet. If I do, I'll make a video of it :)

Great Vid mate. I have a 318i but hopefully the location is not that different!
