Best method/video is this one on this problem IMO. The technique allowed me to refit the sensor within 15 minutes. This worked on my 1er E87 diesel, just careful the sensor is elsewhere, located on the right side below the brake fluid container. After changing the sensor, the error dissapeared, no need to clean the codes.
Spent 4 very frustrating hrs trying (unsuccessfullly) refit this sensor yesterday. Watched your video this morning and had it done in 15 mins! Thanks so much for posting this video 👍
Nice video. Did you manage to get a refund for your dodgy sensor? My start/stop warning light comes on intermittently but even when it’s not on my auto start/stop doesn’t work. Was yours like this?
Does brake fluid leak when the sensor is removed or is there nothing behind it that can leak? Do you have to adjust anything on the brake system afterwards?
I have the same issue and was think how to get thing back in, so thanks for the tips but I also just brought a cheap one off Ebay claiming to be new but definitely isn't. Don't even use startstop just want to get rid of the annoying bong lol. 115 quid is a lot for something you don't use.
Right, it is a bit expensive, I've seen a few second hand tested and working ones from uk sellers on ebay for about £50... I guess another advantage is that a working sensor can let you know if there's a problem with your brakes.
Hi. Would you please tell me what is your engine N47 2L diesel? As I have BMW 320d M Sport N47 engine and can't find the right map sensor. The Ebay send me wrong one but they said its suitable for my car! My map sensor looks similar to yours as the size is slightly bigger than Ebay send me ! Big thanks if you give me some information!🤔😉👍
Yes thats why it didn't work! bought another one from UK seller for £55, fitted it this morning in 20 minutes and it's all fixed (including auto stop/ start).
@@bmwnurse1118 Hi would you be able to provide the link of the last sensor that you bought, please, I've got the same issue, got one from ebay £16 doesn't works. Thank you.

Nightmare mate , I'm struggling to get this back in .
@@gerardregan6937 I'm sure you'll crack it, if you've not already done so. Bloody fiddly though 🤞
Great video, best (easiest to follow and do) description I've seen yet! Thanks.
Nice editing on the hard bits pushing in the gromit lol, thanks for the video very helpful
Thanks Gaz, you’re right!
What where the symptoms of faults the car haves?
How did u get the second screwdriver in such a tight space to push the sensor back into the servo ?😮
Thank you for the good instruction.

Hi, nothing leaks and nothing has to be adjusted as far as I know... I haven't had any issues since.

Fitted it today and like the one you brought it wasn't new and it didn't work.

so did it work, when you installed oem bmw sensor?
Hi good video and did it sort the code out ?
problem in ABS sensor on one of your wheels.
I had this issue on the 1 series. Buying the genuine part from BMW was the only way I was able to fix the issue
Definitely the safest way.
BMW like original oe BMW sensors.
Especially camshaft or crankshaft.
I called BMW Dick Lovett and the pricing including VAT for the Brake Vacuum Pressure Sensor for Stop / Start is £153.25!! 🥲
Would you (or anyone else) know of how to test these sensors - e.g., should they have a specific resistance between the pins?
Sorry I don’t know the answer, but I did get one that worked half price and second hand from Uk in the end.
Did you clear the codes when you fitted the new sensor
Yes 👍🏼 it’s all good now!
On left side way is impossible to take the sensor out
Yep it’s gotta be the right side I think.
Hiya, I have managed to get mine out but I'm struggling put the new one in
I found that getting the screwdriver 🪛 in the slot on the top of the sensor was the key to success!
@@bmwnurse1118 I managed to get it done 5 months ago, thank you tho 😅😂🤣
Thank you!
Only 20£ ?
