Injector 5 I! Can see smoke, means it's not correctly seated

That's very expensive, I fitted my car with x2 Aerosus airbags £160 and £60 labour from a BMW specialist total £220.

Leslie the spun bearings were due to oil starvation, the dpf has been recently removed. The adblue has been deleted jut it is still being used, I had to refill. Marti yes they were used so I'm guessing pointing towards injectors

I don't know what the range is. Is there any way of checking on the carly app? Basically I bought the car with spun bearings and had a full rebuild. Replaced the following parts Crank resurfaced All bearings changed 2 x conrod changed New piston rings X 6 All 6 injectors changed but they were used f...

The turbo is new, as in it was fitted 3000 miles again when engine was rebuilt, the smoke continues for a minute or two after being driven hard with a strong smell. Bit like diesel, my indi said could be excess diesel. Carly is dieing injector 4 and 5 is outside parameters.

The colour seems to be dark grey, but strong stinging odour

Hi guys just needed your help with this issue, basically when the car is driven a little harder or say uphill under load it seems to smoke and carries on smoking for a minute or two once coming to a stop. When I've got outside its a strong pungent smell, possibly unburnt diesel, it kind of stings my...

I do oil changes every 6k miles and use Millers LL04-spec oil and Mann or Bosch filters. The car has had more than twice the oil changes in the 5+ years/52k miles since I bought it than it had with two owners (and "FBMWSH") the previous 5 years/70k miles. IMHO if it was going to spin a be...

Spun bearings mostly x police cars was it not, a lot were sold to the public before the issues were caught on of these cars idling for hours then flat to the mat with diluted oil and long service intervals. Any approved oil will be grand, if its going to fail it will fail regardless as the damage h...

I think the Castrol FST meant to be very good. There's an engine builder who have a page on Instagram they literally have an N57 every week for a spun bearing. I don't know what changed between the M57 and the N57?

Hi guys from personal experience, and with the spotlight recently on the N57 engine, I think it would be wise to change oil and filters (oil) every 6-8k miles. What is your opinion? there seems to be a lot of bottom end failures on high mileage cars with longer service intervals. Also which oil do y...

Thanks Rosh, these niggling faults are hard to diagnose on these cars

So basically I have had an engine rebuild and had the emmisions items deleted. I mean physically still there but mapped out. Thing is the exhaust fumes are a little and sometimes I'm getting white deposit on the exhausts could this be DEF leaking?

Any update on this? nice to see someone from across the pond. Where diesel is not a very popular choice.

Just an update so basically I have had the front drive shafts replaced. They did have some play in them especially the right side. However I am still having some vibration although I would say it has reduced.
