pretty sure its sounding glow plug related.

yeh ive heard they are not as good as the award winning m57tu unit,but i know a few people with the e9x models and there cars are fine,they are manual but ive heard the auto box was good,i personally wouldnt entertain an auto as they are to expensive to replace and can just pack up with no notice,the manual you have time as its usually gradual,i am going 3.0 litre d a5 next and will be remapping it,any tips on them engines before i start doing my home work,i usually keep a car for no more than three year and im getting itchy feet although everyday i marvel at my 12 year old cars ability to keep up with todays offerings.

ok thats fine on newer cars,but remaps are developed and there are good remaps for cars like mine . e 46 330d (204) cars, like mine which do not have dpf to start with,mines been mapped for nearly two year,and as for melted engines,never seen that or heard,and if anyone stupid enough to have a none rputeable remap etc are asking for trouble,ive done plenty of miles and not the first car ive had mapped.

thats what a remap and delete of dpf do,they delete sensor signals from reaching the dash,also the cats only have to be visible,they do not check to see if they inside,also you will have to fins a picky tester to check, people with petrol ahve done this with decats etc by either replacing for mot or just hiding them,

they have them but supposed to be revised and stronger,although if it were mine id get them out ,not a lot and not hard to do and peace of mind is worth its weight in dual particle filters ha ha

yes it certainly is,and egr and cats

check for boost leaks ie tur bo hoses

is this obc reading or real life brim to brim coz the obc are useless

most boxes are just plug into f uel rail,and therefore just raise fuel intake,map for your car(if done right) will be done to specs on your turbo condition .clutch and gearbox,injectors pressure etc.as said dpf removal is a failure now but easily got round,so if you do remove it,get the dpf shell cut open,innards taken out,welded back up and deleted from the car along with the egr valve and eml light,simples

as above,one month warranties are useless because as has been said you have a fit for purpose consumer item for at least 6 months and as yours was inside this and the car was not fit for purpose your first port 0of call should have been the original dealer

i suppose you never read the whole thread,if you had then your post would not have been

twice last year both front calipers month apart.when it happens get out and spit on the disc ,if the spit bounces off then its way to hot and may even warp,plus put ya face near as you can and see if you can feel heat

is this an obc reading or brim to brim test,coz the obc is prob wrong,mine always reads 6 mpg better.ie it says 46 in summer and i only get 40 brim to brim,and most other owners are the same but varying in the discrepencies

sorry wrong clutch kit this is the one for diesel Clutch Kit LUK BMW 5 SERIES 530 3.0 2004 Part Number: 624334500 £164 which comes to £540 total

Dual Mass Flywheel LUK BMW 5 SERIES 530 3.0 2004 Part Number: 415036210 £375. Clutch Kit LUK BMW 5 SERIES 530 3.0 2004 Part Number: 624315200 £143 comes to £518. could you not or have you not tried to find it at buypartsbuy

also you dont even say waht model of e60 3.0d. what year etc, go to buypartsbuy and get the exact one , i have just had a look and there are several flywheels ranging from £200-£427 and clutch kits around £135

no problem, do some other searches and use this link as a guide, i dont think you will get much cheaper than this, i have bought clutch from this company and they are genuine parts, i had an mg zt derv and they have the 320 bmw engine although in front wheel drive

just priced this and it comes in at £500 for the flywheel and clutch kit, good brand (LUK)you will be looking at that again in labour as it is gearbox out

just get some quotes, also price the clutch kits and flywheel at euro car parts also at https://www.buypartsby.co.uk/account/signin.php?prompt=E3 try other forums also, i am a member of three forums and get loads of advice, you do the same and ask for experiences from other members of garages in your area

if thats fitted it a good price, but if your changing dual mass flywheel surely the clutch will be getting done at the same time,

slightly quieter and supposed to lubricate fuel pump etc, but i have heard it can cause waxing in injectors, i think it is a bit of a placebo effect when you put it in, but i have been doing it for 5 months now

as title, i am thinking of buying an auto, 99,000 miles amd remap with 244 bhp x5 wheels full service history etc, can anyone advise me on the auto as i have only ever driven aN AUTO 25 year ago

i do it in my mg zt diesel.(320) engine,loads of other car forums have the same question,i am pretty sure it helps and i think i get a little more mpg
