gkelly Posted September 23, 2008 Report Share Posted September 23, 2008 hi there i hope some of you guys have mechanical knowledge, after 6 months hassle free driving my 03 bmw 320cd sport, this morning i turned on the car and it choked into life with a minor rattling noise, i drove the car half a mile to the mechanic, there was smoke comin from the exhaust when driving, not much, but the car never gave off smoke. the car performed as usual with the turbo drive still there. the mechanic listened to the large rattling noise and thought it was a faulty injector, these were tested today but no damage so hes gonna have to take off the head with the feeling its a valve problem which means serious cash required prob minimum 500. has neone had this issue before? i wouldnt mind if i had crashed the car but noone to blame...very stressed, ne ideas on what it might be?

Soapsuds Posted September 24, 2008 Report Share Posted September 24, 2008 I'm pretty sure there are known fualts on this engine with the intakes failing and destroying the turbos - or something like that. There are a fair few known issues, but i dont know the details so wont continue to speculate!! You will be best off visiting a specialist forum such as e90post / bimmer info forums.
