Drivetrain Malf (P052D) ?

550Reasons · 10-19-2015, 08:04 AM

Hey guys, lately i've been getting a Drivetrain malfunction, quite annoying, i've had it happen before, i just shut the car off and start again and usually goes away, but this morning it was more annoying and wouldnt go away.
I always let my car do itself the few seconds of high reving when cold starting, then I shift it.

The code is "P052D" and it reads.

Cold Start Camshaft Position Timing Over-Retarded (Bank 2)

I searched and nothing came up, does anyone have any idea what it could be ?
Maybe a sensor or something ?

Probably need a new censor for camshaft position

so it stopped doing it for a long time, now lately its back at it again ! i've had it happen 3 times in the pass 2 weeks, Usually restart the engine and goes away.

would it be hard to change this sensor myself ?

I was just mentioning in another thread going on right now that I've experienced similar to what your explaining. For me the fix was cleaning the vanos, but that was on my e90.

(This is the one the fixed my problem)

Im handy but uff i dont know if I dare to do that, I have 3rd party warranty, but it sucks because it goes away, or stays in the system before i restart the car 3 times, Im not sure If i can make it to the dealer or if I would waste my time there.

Not user if I understand the warranty. Find a decent mechanic and have it done. Should not be more than a 100 dollars for the removal and cleaning.

Ha that was poorly, written my bad lol, early in the morning at work.

What I meant to say is that I do have a 3rd party warranty.
But the Malfunction goes away after i restart the car, so Im not sure I can make it to the dealer in time for them to see the code. the code usually disappears after 3 restarts as well.

I guess next time if it happens and im able to make it quickly to the dealer thats what i'll be doing

You mean the error on the dash goes away? Codes thrown are still in the system. The best way to retrieve them besides the dealer is the iCarly BMW app
