Hi, looking for some assistance here if possible please. My 2004 X5 3.0d emits large plumes of white smoke on cold start up, and when accelerating very hard emits clouds of black smoke!!

It has been suggested the oil seperator may be the culprit, can anyone shed some light on this please?

Many thanks

Bob

Does it start as it should from cold?

The black smoke issue could be either, a slight timing prob (sensor or pump) or even the EGR may need a good clean...

There are other things to clean out which will help too !!

      Bumpy

      Just took it out to see if I could pinpoint problem. It seems to happen at low speed eg when in slow traffic, then I go to accelerate in 2nd say, it feels a little bumpy but stops when build up speed.

      Bumpy

      Morning Cameron Welcome to the Forum A bit more information would help us make a guess at what is happening Which X1 model do you have Front wheel drive or X drive? What condition are the tyres and are they all the same make? When the bumby ride happens is it on the straight or in bends does it vary with speed? Does it happen under acceleration? Dave
