BMW Repair: Hi i have a 2003 330xi with..., 330xi, fuel system


Question
Hi i have a 2003 330xi with a standard trans.the problem is when the engine warms up it becomes very hard to drive,to be more specific the engine wants to stall very easy when the clutch is being released.Also holding on a hill as you might do when waiting to make a right on red is almost impossible,the engine either wants to stall or it will start surging,then when you try to excelerate it will buck and probably stall.I have had it to the dealer and got it back with the explanation that thay could not reproduce the problem,i think thay must not have even driven the car.

Answer
it could be many things causing this. it may not be in the clutch itself. i have seen ignition coils exhibiting similar symptoms. however, it could be in the ignition system, fuel system, or clutch. go to the dealer and ask them to have a technician drive with you so you can reproduce the condition
