The car company I bought the car off pressure checked the engine, result was no problem. He told me it was a tech problem and had it sorted. the car is now back to get an injector replaced. Question, do you need to replace all injectors or can you just replace 1 only??? I've been told if you need 1 then you need to replace all. Doesn't sound plausible, not sure if this is true or not.

Wow, you know your onions. I was told that the glow plugs where changed but I do has my suspicions. I'll get on it. Thanks again fella.

Hi Marco, the 120d Sport is a cracking wee car, I had one up to last month, now got a 320d, big difference. Welcome… :D

Yes, when the engine is warmed up, smoke clears. I left the car sitting untouched for 3 days over christmas, It was difficult to start, took 3 attempts, the amount of smoke was shocking. Again when the engine heated up the smoke is faint. The engine running spluttery until heated up, then it runs better, but every now and then you hear the engine struggles for a few revs. Also to note, when driving it does the same and looses power but not always when giving it the boot…

Hi guys oil level fine, no oily emissions. But anti freeze is very low. Could this be an injectors problem???? Car doesn't start well from cold either.

Thanks guys, i'll take your advice and get back to you…

Hi all, I'm new to the forum. I recently bought a 2005 BMW 320d sport auto with average milage, trouble is, white smoke coming from the exhaust. When the engine is running the smoke appears, then fades, then shortly comes back. I also noticed today there's drops of oil from the exhaust. The car doesn't idol well, it sits above 1000 revs for a while then drops ever so slightly, like a splutter, but ever so slightly. I know there's oil coming from somewhere, but what might it be. There's a 3 month warranty with the car, so i'm keen to get this rectified before it runs out. I've been told by the dealer its condensation, but I know its more serious than that. Can anyone point me the right direction please.
