So i love my diesels....
Saved a few bob and bought myself a clean 2004 E46 320d M Sport Touring with 144000 (wanted a 330d but couldnt find a good one)
Owned the car about 2 months now and has been a joy to own, a decent amount of power, very comfy and good to look at....BUT
the last couple of weeks it has started to hesitate at cruising speed/low revs, accelerate and it clears and drives well again, a little anoying
i done some research, So i had a little list to do, Swirl Flaps, EGR clean, Vacuum Hose check etc, Wednesday on my way home from work
it got worse...Horribly miss firing, rattling, lumpy....Oh no not injectors.... (ps no managment light)
So this morning i thought right lets get this looked at, eventually removed the inlet manifold, turned her over......
3 of the 4 Swirl Flaps are MISSING!!!! 😞
Is she goosed guys???????
Thanks in advance,
Steve.
