Diesel Engine Running Rough
Hi Paul Welcome to the Forum You need a good Independent Garage but one with BMW capable diagnostics or a BMW Specialist who will have the kit and knowledge There is a Register of BMW Specialists which you could Google which should give you some local contacts Poor servicing is sadly quite common due to (a) many modern cars can have the service indicator reset without work (b) extended service intervals due to modern oils some up to 30k are just nuts. That means a car with 70k may only have had 2 services ?? The only real evidence is a good old stamped book and a wedge of receipts Hope this helps Dave -

Diesel Engine Running Rough
Hi, looking for advice and/or recommendations. I have a 2016 2 Ltr Diesel 2 Series Active Tourer 218d. Bought the car thinking it had a FSH, at 70k miles now got 75k ish. Looks like it hadn't been properly serviced for about 20k miles. After running it for 8 months the engine started to run rough and when my regular garage took a look the filter was on the cusp of falling to bits and the oil thick with not much of it. Up until that point it seemed to run ok. My regular garage don't do engine diagnostics, just regular servicing. It still runs, but rough. Its been suggested that it could be as simple as the timing chain is stretched and thus a replacement and having it timed up could fix it, but it also could be that more damage has been done. I'm struggling to find someone/where to diagnose and repair, I'm based in Leeds. Can anyone share any solid recommendations in the locality that could diagnose and repair? Or maybe I'm better just selling as spares or repair?? Any help greatly appreciated, just want to get it sorted or sold and move on. Cheers - Paul -
