320D misfiring

Recommended Posts

I have a 2010 320D M sport touring.  I love it to bits but yesterday it started acting up.  When going around right hand bends (tight ish ones like roundabouts) and accelerating the traction control light flashes and the car slows - I'm guessing because the TC kills the power and/or applies the brakes.

I have tried turning off the traction control and it then seems to just misfire.

The really weird thing is it definitely does not do it when turning right or when driving straight ahead.

Can anyone shed any light please?  I would be very grateful for any help.

Thanks

Dean

Sounds initially like it could be down to tyre size, tread or the fact that you are overcooking it into roundabouts in which case any of these factors could invoke the TC.

But worth checking the diagnostic memory for fault codes or live data with respect to the driveline as there could be a fault with one or more sensors (angle or speed/position sensors)

Thanks for that.  It won't be tyre size as they are correct, and it isn't me overcooking it as it does it at low speed (and in a straight line now as well).

I may have to look at sensors.

I'm also wondering if it is a clogged DPF?
