It’s worked on my car I appreciate your video it took my cog light off after followed your instructions
Which spray did you use
Sweet fix hope the gardens coming along
Thanks homie. This weather is making things quite difficult when it comes to the garden. Freezing temps and tons of rain.
Thank you very much for your video, we have a E46 BMW, and we had a lot a problem with it jerking gears running horrible. And it went limp mode and an exclamation point show on the instrument panel. this morning, we just replace the Mas air flow sensor and problem solve. Thank you once again.
So glad to help. It’s amazing how much the vacuum system affects everything on these cars. All the best.

Your a life saver
Awesome. So glad to help. The vacuum systems are tricky on these cars.
Thank you for sharing this. You mentioned that your car's limp mode has gone. I wonder if the light (the exclaimation mark next to gear) has also gone?
Next to the gear? There’s one in the gear that went away.
Thanks a lot dude!!!!!! ❤
Glad to help
Exactly what i have on my car thank you very much dude
Please subscribe and tell your friend to do the same.
my wife's 2006 330i same problem.i changed the crank sensor..lil better but still limp n light is still on.gonna try this.thanks.P
Is your wife’s car better?
Same car 2006 330 I and I have limp mode with gear shifting problems , it shifts hard and limp mode usually only sometimes happens when going faster than 80 mph
@@oddsaul9577 check for vacuum leaks. All rubber hoses connected to maf.
Will be trying that tomorrow it’s only happened once when the gear light came on and that was about a month ago, but regardless I will try it
Hope it worked. Let me know. 👍
Hey, you’re awesome. My boot had like, 4” long cracks(openings) on the boot. Like yours (they were hidden.) but underneath. Do you still have this car? Is it a manual or automatic? I thought I heard ‘top-off’ which, to me, is auto-trans… thanks!
Glad you were able to fix it. Yes I have an automatic and yes I still have it. It’s been doing pretty good since I did this. I did a muffler delete. It sounds much better. 👍
Feel like I’ve tried everything with my trans I have the exact model 01 330ci, did trans filter w new fluid even changed the entire steptronic filter assembly due to thinking it was the shift lock solenoid. Still nothing but imma definitely try switching the maf today hope it helps! Car used to drive so good and randomly got the trans limp mode, I miss my car lol
I hear you. Now I have a parasitic drain and I’m pretty sure my alternator is toast.
the 330 ci have a defective transmission 2002=2003. its the 5hp19 specific to the 330ci or 330i. The 330 have a few more friction plates than the other 5hp19 which actually seems to not be as reliable as the 325i version of the 5hp19. What happens to the trans in the 330 is the drum either F or D drum i dont remember which . has a seal in the center and what happens is the metal seal moves over time during 3 or 4th gear and loses pressure. Ive had this problem just with the 330 ci - 330i 5hp19 .. The number 1 symptom is when the tranny is cold during first start runs great but when the tranny heats up after maybe 20=30 mins it goes into limp mode.. Find yourself a tranny 5hp19 from a 2005 325i or ci and use the same torque converter from your 330. Do not use the torque converter from the 325i in ur 330 just use the 5hp19 tranny from the 325i and it will work fantastic!! good luck you should be able to find the trans for maybe $500 and installation for another $400 or $500. if you want a nice aggressive shift use the tcu or tranny computer ecu from 2001 325i 5hp19 or ci easy plug and play swap, this info not compatible or pretains to gm tranny
I’m curious if your car is fixed?
@@Staygoldfarms heck yea , I beat on it like mad, the 325i version 5hp19 is pretty tough if u don’t get the ones with a bad reverse drum that breaks. In combination with a torque converter from a 330i or ci
Did it work!?
Gonna try this tomorrow
Hope it works out for you. It’s amazing how much the vacuum and maf play a role for so much codes. Let me know.
I have the 325i and my cog light is on but it’s the same exact issue a code popped up saying the maf needed replaced so I put a new one in and it does this but the old one works fine it just throws a code
Did you try to clean the old one with this method?
Thank you you help me
Awesome! Glad to help. Consider subscribing
I definitely got to get a can of that cause my 330ci did the same thing
Yes! Check for vacuum leaks too. Is your idle messed up?
Did you get a loud clunk when going into reverse from park or going into drive from reverse? That's when I got my cog and limp mode, but after driving a couple miles, parking and returning to the car a couple hours later, cog mode and indicator cleared and shifting returned to normal, allowing the D to be displayed when in drive. Prior to that there was no D or R indications, just the cog.
I was driving and a big cluck happened. The pipe came off the maf. Lost vacuum. My radio tripled out too. I have an added amp and bass. I had a battery static drain but that went away. Not sure how. I now have to change my alternator. It was idling bad and stalled before. Now all good except alternator.
I am having this exact problem no gear showing on dashboar and only the cog sign . If I start the car and the clog sign is not showing ,I can only drive on first gear .the car doesnt shift gear. Hiw I can fix it .its been 5 months and nobody knows how to fix it.told me to change battery and TRS trnasmission range sensor ( Nuetral safety switch) and still have the problem
@@maximrabah2169 check your MAF and vacuum lines. Do you know how to check your voltage? Press the button near odometer till you get to 19 and then go to 9. You have to time it right to make this sequence. Voltage should be at 14 or above when running.
@@Staygoldfarms
I had the battery showing 12 and 14 Volt when running but I had to rev to 3000 RPM sometimes . After I changed the battery this week .its 12 when the engine is off and when running . I think it got worse by changing the battery
@@Staygoldfarms thank you .the problem was wiring from alternator to the ECU and the gear was not getting enought current along with a bad fuse next to the TCU .we checked the car cable by cable and we found the problem .the car is a beast again
Is it possible that it can also be stuck in 2nd or 3rd gear cause of this problem?
Absolutely! Try this remedy. Can’t beat the price for cleaner. Also check your charging system. Water leaks from sun roof. Feel the floors and in the front kick panels.
Unhook the battery for a bit also.
Hello, please can you recap me what are you saying in this video? I’m from France and I don’t understand all, just tell me what is the problem and how to resolve it, because I got the same orange thing of gearbox after changing my air filter, but now I have this problem and when I want to drive in D its making a weird sound and in the first gear it’s loud and it’s hard to go to the other gear, but when I am in manual mode I don’t have this problem…
I hope you understand me but I can’t understand from where this problem come from
That doesn’t sound like the problem I had. The MAF needed to be cleaned. It came off while I was driving and dust got in the line.
My car was staying in 3rd gear. Not first. If your car is shifting in manual than your transmission might need attention.
Check all your vacuums lines anyways.
Is your car showing this gear light?
@@Staygoldfarms yes i have the same gear light
@@bxrz if you changed the air filter the MAF could’ve come loose. Check all your vacuum connections from the air filter back. You could’ve possibly broke a rubber fitting (s).
Be careful not to pry on anything. Those rubber fitting can easily rip open causing vacuum leaks.
If cars automatic it could also mean ur gearbox has been stuck in a gear and only fix for that is taking it out and fixing those components.
It’s been driving great ever since. This method does work or I wouldn’t have even posting this video. I was skeptical but why not give it a try if it only costs $15.00?
I know the video is old but if you can get back to me I would appreciate it I have it doing this on 2 different 325i and a 325ci same problem on both
Did you use this method to the cars?
on the 330ci or i and 330xi auto and 325xi auto if the mass is bad it will go into limp mode but seems to not apply to 325 i non xi
It worked on my 03 bmw 325i I check the mass air flow sensor it was bad I changed it and clean the mass air flow and work so this guy actually found the solution
I’ve switched out solenoids, valve body, transmission oil, transmission filter and nothing. I switched out the MAF and still the same
Have you checked all your vacuum hoses for leaks/cracks?
@@Staygoldfarms would the tiny little hose from the secondary air pump do it?
Yes. Mine was broken. I used a bonding liquid and black tape to seal it before I bought another. It worked.
I have a 03 330ci e46 & My cog light is on n stays in first gear with a slow take off. I replaced the intake boot but still have the same problem. do you spray this inside the mass air intake hose?
No. Take the MAF off and spray a bunch of it all over the inside. Unhook the battery negative and keep the keys away from the car.
Like inside the attachments hoses on the car? Or just the MAF piece?
The maf itself. Take it off and clean it with this cleaner. It’s easy to take off. Make sure everything is tight. Prevent a leak.
@@Staygoldfarms I did not it still didnt work
Check for cracked vacuum hoses below the maf. Those hoses crack all the time. Very common
Snow are you kidding me, I expect it to be more likely more rain
It’s has since changed to chances of rain. I opens the sunny side of the barn for the goats. The other side is shade and muddy. We have plans for the goats once this weather gets better. Thank you for the comment.
@@Staygoldfarms Weve had way to much rain lately. I have one girl left to kid out then im done till spet
@@northernlightsgoats8776 hope everything goes well with the kidding.
Mine is showing P0748 but all solenoid are functionañ
Not sure but found this for you. carmodnerd.com/p0748/. Hope it helps.
Mi carro no me Lee parking y no me arranca será ese el problema
Differente problema.

You need to do your transmission pan gasket and filter this is not a permanent fix it is very common older bmws just regular maintenance you should do 30k on trans fluid in my opinion that’s filter and gasket to keep the trans smooth and clear red fluid not brown
All the research I read said that’s the last resort.
@@Staygoldfarms no it’s not its regular maintenance your cars going into limp mode for a reason all bmw techs will tell you this they don’t go into limp mode because of simple shit I’ve done full services on these gm and zf trans they all have to have the filters done at some point due to them clogging and not letting the trans receive the correct amount of fluid
@@Hardtopboyzz well, in this case it helped my car. My maf disconnected causing loss of vacuum and dirt flew in clogging the maf. Sure this might not be the only thing that will fix your cog problem but it sure is worth a shot for under $15.00. My car was idling bad and stalling. All of that went away after I did this. The vacuum system is very complex on these cars. Any leak will throw this car off.
hi, i have a bmwE46 i325 gearbox from 3rd to 4th gear, the gearbox is stuck, what can i do, please help
So the car doesn’t shift from 3rd to 4th but still shifts 1-3?
yes, 1-2-3 changes, when 4-5 passes, the gearbox goes into mode
the reason for the fire is that the oil leaked from the gearbox, I didn't know about it, ask him, it doesn't go to 4-5 gears, 1-2-3 changes easily
It goes into P0734 mode, I am Azerbaijani, please help me
That doesn’t sound good. Perhaps needs a new gearbox or solenoids. My went into cog mode. Totally different. It was stuck in 3rd gear. Never shifted.
