Hi 

I have a bmw 320d 2002 engine was done recently  but the grey smoke still coming also rattling when idling.

What could be the problem  and how to fix it. The turbo was changed as well

Rattling could be the timing chain or incorrectly set valve clearances. Either the engine has been rebuilt badly, or it hasn't been rebuilt at all. I'd find a BMW specialist who could give the car a once over. You don't have to have them fix whatever is wrong. You can choose where you go.

ANY smoke from tail pipe is an automatic MOT failure.

Welcome to the Forum Thabani

With Richard here, if the engine has been "done" recently whoever did it should be sorting it as it doesn't sound as though they have done it properly

      4x4 abs ebv dsc failure

      Morning Steven Really ? your screen shot doesn't show any VTG Fault or is it a new one ? Or is it a different scan ? You will need to either get them checked and repaired other wise the K-can bus faults will never be cleared and they will prevent some others being cleared. My course of action would be first repair the K-can Bus and clear down all the K-can Bus faults either using a Scan tool like your original screen shots or simply disconnect the Battery for 30mins (a Dealer Trick) Once that is done re-scan and see what faults show. Many folks have carried out costly replacement/repairs due to treating a symptom not the actual cause. Transfer Case damage/faults are normally tyre related or the VTG oil needs replacing Seems you are making progress though 😁 Dave

      4 Series Convertible - water collection in sills issue !

      Hi. Having read so many articles from BM convertible owners, it is appalling that BMW fails to recognise and this fault through a recall? Do you know where the water enters the sills/ boot area? Can the point of entry be identified? Does the sill fill up before entering the motors etc? I ask because I noticed water escaping from the rear , near side sill area after a car wash and therefore want to solve the issue before it reaches the stage of such expense that you have had. Any help ideas welcome.

      Inherited an R56? 2009 ONE

      Gave the car to my mate who gratefully took it for his young family. he took it to his local garage and turns out the camshaft timing sensor was clogged up and misreading. I had changed the inlet and outlet cam sensors but not the camshaft sensor. an engine flush and clean, new oil and spark plugs, a good service and it’s off like a scalded cat! Cost wise it was about £300 to sort. happy days!
