Help!
My dad has a 2011 535i and it’s a lemon. An indie shop just did the valve cover gasket and we got it back and it stalled. The guy said a hose wasn’t on right. We took it home and all of a sudden there was a pop and the car stopped. Like would not go into gear. We looked under the hood and the charge pipe was off. Put it back on and went home. Drove it for a few and stalled again and the charge pipe was off. We are waiting for the replacement now. But i was running it today and it stalled twice for no apparent reason. When it first happened i got the injectors code, then i got the fuel pump codes. Now I’m getting like 20 weird ass codes. I think the charge pipe is unrelated to the stalling issue. Any idea on what to check first ? Also have the drive train issue. Oh and now it’s blowing white smoke from the exhaust too. Thanks!

Not going to say I have any idea what is wrong with your car, but if it were me, I'd pop the hood, remove the plastic engine cover, and check the complete engine harness in and around the valve cover.
I'd look at ALL brown heavy gauge wires and their grounding location ensure they are all attached and all tight (using a 10mm socket)...and then using a Digital Mutli-meter, I'd verify that the ground wires vs chassis ground read below 1 Ohm...... ....but this is what I'd do... Good luck. |

It’s in the garage now and i was just letting it run to see what happens. I am worried about the white smoke but i don’t think the charge pipe issue is connected to the other issues.

Also the check engine light is always on, which we are trying to fix because he needs it inspected. Hence why they did the valve cover to begin with. Before all this he always had the codes 120308 and 108f01 Last edited by jyjimenez3; 11-05-2020 at 05:33 PM.. |

Do you know how old the battery is? You can look on top of the negative terminal. Has a date stamp. If it's original to the car I'd start by replacing it. And it must be registered to the car after install.

That's all I'm seeing from those codes you listed. Is the battery correct spec. Was it registered? The other codes are brake codes. And that fuel injector code. But say not serious. So when you clear them. Those are the ones that pop back up?

Ya i cleared them and ran it today and it came back up. But i didn’t drive it anywhere. I just turned on the car and they came back up. So maybe that’s why they haven’t gone away? But i don’t think these codes would have anything to do with the stalling and the car like shakes on start up. Like a rough idle but the rpms DONT move.

Really u should post the code definitions so it makes it easier for us to help.
If it's a valve cover job. I would recheck all the vacuum tubes (boost solenoid for ex). All the grounds (as mentioned above). Connections such as o2 sensors (guess u can't mix it up?), maf, map(s). You have no leak codes and white smoke now right? Does it idle smoothly (past open loop)? Last edited by mashpotato; 11-07-2020 at 09:45 AM.. |

The 213604 was the code I suspected of being the battery. But you say that's cleared now. You may have a short at the turbo. Bad turbo. Could be a number of things. Hard to say. Do you have access to ista? That would be your best bet to start.

I haven’t driven it though so not sure if that matters. But the codes don’t seem to be pointing to anything. Not crazy white smoke but it’s there. Idle is trash. It really fluctuates. You can feel the car shake but rpms don’t move. Then next time rpms are going up and down and that’s usually when it stalls. |
