i mean now. do you have any type of warranty coverage?

Could have been a faulty injector that has caused fuel to wash the bores and fill the sump with diesel, this is a common problem on Audi 3.0 D engines, customers were noticing that when checking the oil level that the oil marks were getting over the max marker due to diesel mixing with the oil.
This washes the bores and prevents lubrication, so causing terminal bore wear.
I have been on the Audi website to see what the common problems were as I was thinking if changing to an A6 or Q7 for my next motor.

So maybe a new engine, new injectors & new turbo. This is really starting to add up!  )

No, I bought the X5 off of a friend.

Right I found out today that it was just one of the engine bores that filled with diesel, so does this mean fault injector?
Also does anyone know how you check a faulty injector when they are removed from a engine?

Removed the injectors, 4 of them are fucked! 1 of them a large part of it has broken off and gone into the bore (the bore that filled with diesel) and scored the bore  >:(

Whats my best option?

1) Buy 2nd hand engine & fit new injectors - I can get new injectors for £100 each through a friend & a 2nd hand engine will cost around £1k.

2) Remove head, have bores skimmed, fit new piston rings & new injectors? (Dont have a clue what this idea will cost!)

Can anyone tell me the engine code of the engines that get put into a 52-plate 3.0D X5 ? or where I can find it?
(I dont mean my cars individual engine number)
Also are the 330D & 530D engine the same?

M57D30.  Should be 184bhp.  The E53 version does not have swirl flaps on the intake side.  Other BMW models were fitted with them but never the E53.

330d and 530d versions are slightly differently tuned, but basically the same unit in that year.

M57D30, also called M57D29, was introduced in 1998.

)  - same q i asked in a diff. thread

do you run a server room at home with a massive database, with lots of indexes..  in your spare time?

I do have four servers (one - the biggest - courtesy of pvr)..it's called having a personal cloud....but no I don't have a database.  The interwebs is good for all sorts of stuff :type:
