  5. Edgie7
    Can someone please enlighten me on how the auto grill system is supposed to work? My 2018 M40i has this system fitted but I don't recall seeing it closed I understood that it closed during cold weather to allow the engine to warm up quicker.

    Thank you for your interest in this topic. There is some hope that a solution can be found through joint efforts) I eliminated the oil feed pipes.Since the first thing I did was replace the sealing rings there. I am attaching a few more photos showing the leaking area.

    The plot thickens I have changed 2 Turbo's on friends cars but in both cases they were refurbished Turbo's brought as the OEM ones were beyond help. And were fairly straight forward (grazed knuckles) to change. Could the leak you spotted be coming from the Oil Feed pipe ? Dave
  8. andy1316
    Hi Dave, Sure, realoem. Part number (steel gasket) is 11628576287. and according to the second drawing (please see attached), this is the EGR Line Gasket. Andrew

    Hi Andrew Are you using www.realoem.com ? The drawing looks like it or is that from the Internet? Is the turbo fitted OEM ? Dave
  10. andy1316
    Hi Dave, Thanks for your reply! Removing the turbo is not that challenging. The challenge is to find the right gasket.. And here I’m a bit helpless, since no.8 on the drawing does not fit there. Looks like there simply isn’t any gasket.. Andrew

    Morning Anthony Welcome to the Forum Have you checked the Electrical connector and it's sealing ring if they are not seated correctly or the "O" ring is damaged they can leak, a lot. Good Luck Dave

    Morning Andrew Welcome to the Forum Unfortunately the only solution is to strip it all down and then find it is a £0.50p gasket (hopefully) Good Luck Dave

    Hi guys here's the latest. I drove to Glasgow and back today. Around 40 miles of dual carriageway each way and kept the revs between 2500 and 3000 approx. I kept it in fourth gear as much as possible. I also kept an eye on the temp which hovered between 68 and 74 degrees each way. My son in law put his Carly on it while I was there and cleared the EGM light and the DPF fault. the DPF returned on the way home but not the EGM. When I purchased this car 7 years ago it had the DPF light on and it turned out the problem was solved by replacing a faulty thermostat which was preventing the engine regenerating due to low running temperature. I think it warrants investigation as it cured the problem then. Any other thoughts? thanks Paneuro.

  17. B1g4nt
    Recently acquired a 2.2ltr 2005 Z4 at a price which I could not resist if though it had little or no drive through the transmission. Diagnosed a fluid leak so off came the sump, changed the fluid filter, fitted a new gasket and a new transmission seal to the output shaft put it back in only to find a pool of fluid on the garage floor the next day. My only thoughts now are that the fluid pump may be leaking so I should change the gasket on this as well? Anyone else encountered this problem before? I welcome any advice/suggestions as to how to fix this issue.

  20. andy1316
    Hi everyone, I’ve noticed an oil leak coming from the turbine outlet flange area on my BMW 320d xDrive G21 (2019, B47 engine). The oil seems to be coming from the joint between the turbocharger and the downpipe. Has anyone had a similar experience? Any help or experience with a similar issue would be really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    Thanks guys, I'm going to give it the beans a bit tomorrow and see how that goes. I'm trying to get into the secret menu just to get an idea if it does a regeneration while I'm driving it hard. I will let you know how it goes. Thanks Paneuro.

    Hi there just thought I would give you an update regarding my ecu. I sent it to ecutesting as recommended unfortunately they couldn't do anything with it as they said that that they didn't have equipement or tech old enough to test it with lol. They were very apologetic and sent it back to me. Additionally they didn't know of anywhere else I could send it to for testing but of the checks they did do they didn't find anything untoward. So it looks like I will have to find somewhere else or risk buying a second part either way a little bit frustrating.

    Morning Vionea Welcome to the Forum Not sure if you want to replace what you have or make your own ?? Brand new from BMW in primer these only cost around £10 each or if you get the part number from www.realoem.com then search the Internet I dare say there are more than a few out there Good Luck Dave

  32. Greydog started following "Battery Management" message
  33. Greydog
    Morning Alan Welcome to the Forum I find it hard to believe that a Main Dealer responded in that way, the car records ALL faults and their equipment should show it as a fault Present or fault Not Present? You don't want to compromise your Warranty however you could try a different Main Dealer. I would write to the Dealer MD a copy to the service manager and BMW UK Customer Service stating the facts of their investigation and efforts to fix it that have failed, point out that the car in it's current state is "unsuitable for purpose" and ask for a detailed course of action and time scale to resolve the issue. Good Luck Dave

  35. Alan Sirota
    On my 2024 540i video screen I was getting the following message every few days: " Battery Management. Start Engine. Malfunction shutting down the vehicle electronics when vehicle is stationary" The service department kept the vehicle for 2 days but could not diagnose or reproduce the problem. After a software update, the problem disappeared. Now it is back. I cannot discern any pattern as to when it occurs. Any ideas? Should Service Department be able to diagnose without reproducing the message? Could there be some harm being done to my vehicle? Thanks

    Will do tomorrow afternoon Steve.

    motorway for 30 mins, 3rd gear... get the revs up and sit there with the revs up higher 3k or so. This will regen and blow out all crud. When driving as normal, get the revs up, use up the gears before changing, dont change gears too early. Not only good for the DPF but good for your flywheel if its a manual. Diesels need to be driven hard sometimes.

    @Mark Fielding could you add some photos please
