- 2011 bmw 535 drivetrain malfunction caused by defective boost pressure selenoid. The car did not have check engine light and it would drive normal after turning off the car starting back up. It happened few times in one week and I knew something was up. Enjoy the video.
Helped me a lot. Thank you!

Cool video!
Thank you Captain my car doing the same thing and I got a 2011 550i👍👍👍
You are very welcome
Did you figure it out? I have a 2011 550i too and it has the drivetrain malf and shakes a lil bit
@@tate0870 get the obd codes.
@@tate0870 yes sir to that little piece that you had the passenger side of your engine I had the same problem. thanks again for helping me out
I have a 2011 bmw 535i. Car starts up fine a little jerky but when I try to drive it will not go over 15mph any suggestions
What was the code you were getting?
hey brother… i recently got a drivetrain malfunction on the freeway on about a 2 hour round trip , luckily 20 or so miles from coming home i received an error. i was accelerating to 70pmh with 120miles left to the tank. advising me to seek service center service center i pull over , as the car has a shake , and as i restart the car after waiting , it drives fine for another 15miles home. about 4000 miles prior i had got the same error with engine misfiring had replaced some engine coils and a spark plug with a oil housing leak fix as well.now i am here it is late and i am just thankful to not have been stuck on the freeway in the dark rainy weather 25 minutes from home

@@Heart4Soul Hi. Drivetrain malfunction can appear for numerous different reasons and that’s why it is really important to know the symptoms and the codes that is stored in PCM.
With the misfire it is 90% bc of bad spark plug or coil pack. The one I was working on drove perfectly fine with no misfire but it didn’t accelerate fast like there was no turbo power. I hope this comment will help others to diagnose their cars better.
Mine had the same reaction it works fine but when I accelerate fast it pops up on the computer and starts shaking bad like if it’s going to turn off so I turn off let it cool for a while and back on and back to normal
So is this the reason why my f10 520d shakes a lot when i start the car after a time it doesn’t shake anymore tho
Hi what’s is the name of the sensor? I have the same problem in the same car 535 2011
Hello...I have same problem on 2.0 184hp.... but only when i go harder on accelerator pedal/kick down after 2-3 seconds😄 but after I release the pedal and drive normaly then message dissapear. Every time its like that And its ok....can you help about focus of problem?
I have a 2015 bmw 428i gran coupe and it gives me the drivetrain malfunction while it overheats. The fan gets loud and turns on and off while driving. I’ve changed the radiator fan, thermostat and relay for the fan and the problem still continues. Any idea or info is greatly appreciated
You have a electronic water pump in the car. To know if it works or not.
Step1: open the hood and coolant cap.
Step2: Turn the ignition on. (Engine off)
Step3: turn the Heat on to max temp with lowest fan speed .
Step4: press and hold the gas pedal for 10 seconds.
This is coolant bleeding process for bmw and if your pump works you will hear it and also you can go out and look at the coolant tank to see if there is any circulation. If nothing then you will need to replace the pump. What is the mileage on your car ?
Change the MAs air flow sensor
I have the same error. What can i use to check errors to my bmw 520d ?
Hi. I have the same problem with my BMW F11 525D 2012 model. I have just got replaced the turbocharger in a car workshop. The car is running good at normal speed and normal acceration. IF I accerate a bit hard then the drivetrain error comes on the screen. The error dissappear if I turn off and on the engine. I run Autofix diagostic can not find any error codes. What kind of diagnostic tools are you using?
Maxicom MK808s
This has happened twice on my 2014 550, both times were during Hard acceleration while in manual mode. I have floored it in auto mode and it seems to be fine. Turning off car gets rid of error message and car drives normal.
Mine does this too did you find a fix?
What’s the name and or number of the part ?
Same error. Noticed tensioner is jumpy. Will that also throw same code?
No. Tensioner moves when it’s needed on uneven idle or sudden acceleration
I have a 2013 535 twin turbo I replaced plugs and coil from what the code was reading cylinder 2 misfire. And I’m still getting the jerking stuttering when I’m driving. Please help. I don’t want to trade it or sell it. I was thinking it’s the fuel injector???
Is it still misfiring ?
If you have used cheap plugs that can cause jerky acceleration. Make sure to use Bosch laser or double iridium plugs
maybe boosting the solenoid at high speeds throws a drivetrain malfunction error?
The selenoid fixed the problem. The car doesn’t have any mulfunction problems after replacing that boos regulator selenoid
I have had same problem for almost 6 months. I have series 1 2016. Can you help me. Where are you located.
So mines came up after I took it to a mechanic shop and they replaced a sensor that had to do with something else so I’m not sure what to look for ….
You will need to scan the codes to know what to look for
Bro what is name the part you changed it? And thank you so much for your help
Boost pressure selenoid. no problem
How much??
@@danielloyal3703 I believe it was under 40$
I have 535i i have 2 codes 120208 and 120408 i have B58 coils and also change the boost solenoid and still getting same code any suggestions?!
This problem happens when boost selenoid malfunctions or it’s possible that you plugged the vacuum lines on opposite sides. Switch their spots and see if it fixes it
Bmw drivetrain malfunction replace the ground wire...
Do you have link for the part?

Hey I replaced my boost solenoid recently, week later I get codes 108F01 intake plenum suspicion of leaks between exhaust turbocharger and intake valves followed by 120308 “charging control plausibility pressure too low. I have a brand new boost solenoid and got a slight oil leak from valve cover. Any ideas? Thank you
What is the mileage on your vehicle? The worst case is turbocharger has a crack in it where the west gate should hold the pressure or west gate itself is worn.
Check the hoses that goes from turbo till throttle body. Tighten the clamps bc they might let the air out as well.
@@aslanmammadov2230 82kmi, so you’re saying waste gate actuator might solve the issues abs also if it does have a crack in it, what’s the solution to that ? That sounds bad
@@jvz_5.0 at such a low miles I don’t think your turbo has crack. Check your hose clamps. One of them might be loose.
@@jvz_5.0 there is so much air pressure in those hoses even really slight slack will let air push out.
@@aslanmammadov2230 ok awesome will do, I’m also stage 2 tuned with a catless downpjpe and a upgraded aluminum charge pipe. Thank you for the insight !
What scanner did you use to check the codes???? I got a 2013 528i f10
autel maxis 808. any code reader should read those sort or codes
When my drive train malfunction came on it was my coil just 1 of them now that light comes on when there is anything wrong it can be something smart to big so this isn’t the only thing that will make it come on bro
No one said this is only the thing will make mulfunction. You need to know what engine code is stored then you can diagnose the problem. If your problem is boost related then this is much likely what it is.
We have bmw Li 740 and have same issue what do u say is that the same problem?
what year?
Hey i have 116d f20 n47 engine, done remap and now sometimes when i floor it same drivetrain problem comes on, will check boos regulator aswell, good video thanks
Did you fix it? I have an 116d f20 b37 also with the drivetrain problem after i drove in a hole.
@@Assyriiianboy works for me, f31 316d remapped, same problem, solved!
@@RichardE3046 fixed mine yesterday. I did a diagnostic with ista and it was a faulty map sensor. Replaced it and had my power back and no error.
Thank a lot
I have f10 328i it’s same ?
So if it’s a drivetrain malfunction it can be the spark plugs ?
It can be anything
@@aslanmammadov2230 can I get a way to contact to ask you a quick question or something please
I have it on my g20 2020 330 after i needed to replace gasket and car overheatingi fixed it and then drivetrain started i changed spark plugs and still same
Did you scan for codes ?
I have a f01 750i 2010. P13b5 and p052d . Trans malfunction comes on as I start . What could it be ?
According to the codes you have stretched timing chain. But they should not give you trans mulfunction. How many miles on the clock ? And regular scanners won’t read trans code. If you haven’t yet I think you should scan the trans codes with proper scanner. The bmw trans goes into limp mode when you have bad crankshaft position sensor as well bc the computer doesn’t know the speed of the engine to match it to trans
@@aslanmammadov2230
170,000 km on the car
I have no power loss and it runs very smoothly
@@maxthemaltesedog3597 do you have a good scan tool to read all the codes on the vehicle? According to the codes you should not get trans mulfunction. There has to be something else.
@@aslanmammadov2230
I just have a generic code reader . I once topped up the oil and after the trans program came on a little after . That’s how it kind of all started with these codes .
Did you fixed the problem?
Yes
Had my solenoid replaced recently because of drivetrain, but its still happening. Do I need to clear any codes?
when does this usually happens and have you checked if there is any codes stored in your car ?
@@aslanmammadov2230 when I go over 3k revs. I took the car to the dealership for a diagnostics and the told me the solenoid pressure value needed replacing and ordered to part through them. They didn't give me any codes just told me what to replace. I called them and they basically said I need to come back and pay for another diagnostics which aren't cheap
@@matthewchang9075 does it misfire after you get mulfunction?
@@aslanmammadov2230 yes, engine feels a bit shakey. I'm going to get a diagnostic computer this week to see the codes
@@matthewchang9075 im not sure how many miles on your car but it sounds like you will need new spark plugs. dont get cheap ones bc they will do the same thing.
Hi my friend, thanks for the video , I have the same problem here, drivetrain malfunction, just wanna know if this fix your problem?
Hi. Yes it did. Did you scan the obd for codes ?
@@aslanmammadov2230 no not yet . I don’t have
Today I am taking to independent mechanic he is a friend he will check with his computer.
It only does sometimes when I press the gas pedal rudely like if I go fast from 0 miles
@@198888joshua no missfire ?
You should have the same problem
I have the malfunction on my car, it's a 535I and it's shaking!! You think it's that problem?
If it shakes and misfires it is most likely spark plug or ignition coil
@@aslanmammadov2230 thanks, because the mecanic give me a estimate of $4500 parts and labor!! But I think I can do it by my self,, thanks
@@edencisneros9263 wow. He might be swapping whole engine
@@aslanmammadov2230 I don't think so, engine sound good except the shaking!
@@edencisneros9263 that was sarcasm lol. good luck fixing it. share your outcome with us as well.
Today I went to buy a used bmw 5 series 535i 2014 model. And while giving the full acceleration I notice this message pop up. “Drivetrains, drive moderately “ full performance not available”
Can you please help me out. Should I buy this car with this issue. Is this a major problem or minor problem which I can fix easily. Please advise.
Definitely check the stored codes. There may not be check engine light but cdes will be there.
On Monday my car cut off in the middle of the road and won’t start it came up as drivetrain malfunction so what am I supposed to do get a new engine?
The car will power on but it won’t start up Like the lights still come on in the car so I know it’s not the battery
@@rossgriffith2134 do you hear click ? No crank ?
@@aslanmammadov2230 super late, but mines does that when I lock and unlock the door. Lights in the car come on , ignition turns on but the car doesn't turn over.
@@slrroute when you push the start do you hear click from starter nothing?
If you hear click and engine doesn not spin you may have a locked engine. If you don’t hear anything you probably have a bad starter. But since your engine quit running while you were driving tells me you locked your engine.
@@aslanmammadov2230 no when I unlock or lock the door the clicking happens I read up that it may be the eccentric sensor most likely.
But it dosent mean allthe car will have same problem ,drivetrain problems i think could be anythink,
If you get drivetrain malfunction on bmw it’s usually something affecting the power of the car such as turbo or spark related problems. Knowing the codes are very important when diagnosing. If you watch the video I mention it and also mention what kind of codes I had.
Wow I have try change mine. My drivetrain jus pop up
Make sure check the codes first
Hello,
I have the same issue with my 2010 535i. In general, it occurs :
- During long trips when i accelerate to fit on the highway after having a short stop in a rest aera (~15 min)
- After being in the traffic jam (the car gets hotier) then i accelerate
Was your experience similar to mine or was it in random situations ? In my case, do you think it can be due to a defective boost pressure selenoid too ?
(my HPFP already broke and been replaced )
Thanks for your help
Hi. As long as I didn’t accelerate hard I didn’t have any problems. And it’s also important to to check the codes on your car to see what trouble codes you have. If it’s boost related codes then yes you might have the same issue
@@aslanmammadov2230 Thanks 👍🏿
@@phil_a no problem
@@aslanmammadov2230 Update : The boost pressure selenoid has been replaced few weeks ago and it seems like my problem is fixed🤞🏿. Thanks again !
@@phil_a awesome. I’m glad the video helped you as well. Thanks for follow up comment
👍🙏❤️
I have a 2010 550i Gt and it’s doing the same thing. Except when I first turn it on it’s already shaking saying drivetrain malfunction. We’ve changed the spark plugs and computer and the issue is still there. Any help ? Thank you !
If it’s shaking at first start that is probably your spark plugs, do you get any codes ?
I got a cylinder 1/5 misfire
@@alexai4731 so your problem is not same as mine.
First step would be changing spark plugs with NGK or Bosch. If it stays the same switch the coil packs from 1-2 and 5-4 to see if codes change. If so change coil packs if not then check fuel injectors.
I’m Having this same problem. I’ve change this solenoid and the spark plugs/coils (Bosch) any suggestions on what to do next? Thank you
@@whhhattt08 what engine do you have ?
Having this problem Buh I only got check engine light for 02 sensors
Any help ? Anybody ?
550i Bmw
Which codes do you exactly get ? What year 550 and what is your mileage ? Does the engine act any different ?
@@antbillz9730 just to remind you any kind of mechanical issue on these bmws will give you drivetrain mulfunction.

What’s the name of the part
Boost solenoid.
U need a new testing method dude. Lol
And what is that ?
Buy toyota
BMW cars a garbage money pits
Bmw cars are for either Rich or Enthusiasts who can work on them. I don’t recommend them for a daily drivers who knows nothing about them
These days all cars are garbage and with a lot of problems, BMW it's still a good car, with problems like any car.....
Hi it's work for you I have the same issue as you let me know please I Will try myself
Yes it did work
