BMW 740il 94? just cranking, won?t start, after replaced 1 ft. hose under reservoir by shop.
Urgent, repair shop closed for weekend, car is in front a museum.
Auto mechanics Replaced 1 ft. hose under reservoir, put on engine cover while running, drove 10 blocks and parked, 5 minutes later, won?t start. AAA came and tried jump, no luck. Towed back to shop.
Mechanics tried jump, also failed. He did found the battery connector under back seat loose. He did some connector twist ( 2 minutes) around engine block and engine started. He think my battery weak, and kindly loan me the new battery while recharge my battery( Interstate). I did tried to restart car few times, all ok.
