    320d touring msport push start problem. Buzzing noise

    Hi all.
    After trawling the net for a fix I'm unable to find this one.
    Recently bought this model, 14 plate with 80k on clock.
    Been fine for a month and now the cold weather is here the push start problem has occurred.
    Its a manual so I depress clutch and push to start.
    I get a horrific buzzing noise and no start. Sometimes 2/3 times then it's fine.
    I get a message on display saying contact dealer as there is a problem with ignition.

    Hoping someone can shed some light on this before I start throwing money at it.

    I'll try post a recording of it this weekend.

    Any help and advice is much appreciated.

    Cheers all

    Welcome to the Forum!

    Normally it is always best to start with a code pull to see what is giving the DDE problems. However, you may also want to check to see if that car is affected by the timing chain issue that 320d have.
