Hey All,
Sorry to bother you all, but I just got my '54 E46 320cd M-Sport (123Kmls) serviced by (BMW Dealer) today. I mentioned it to the mechanic today when I was handing it in that, I have been noticing that the car has been lacking in/not producing full power in all gears from about 2,000rpm as when you put the foot down & the rev hit approx 2,000/2,250rpm & the revs/power stops/slows down dramatically & it takes ages for the full power/turbo to kick in (if it does at all) as you can feel it holding back! The only way I have noticed to help with this, is when it happens. Is to release the accelerator fully & then to press it down fully again & this seems to work most of the time!?!? So the mechanic told me he would run the diagnostics on it & see what would show up & this is what he said. "the diagnostics shows that it is the 'Inlet-Manifold & Glow- Plugs' & I need to change them all especially the Inlet- Manifold ASAP (Total cost of €1,000) before it damages the engine. Is this possible??? Would removing the manifold & cleaning it just work??? or is there any chance it could be these VERY FAMOUS "Swirl- Flaps" that's causing this problem??? Also, I don't see how the 'Glow-Plugs' could cause this as there has never been a problem starting the car, even in very cold weather like this winter & the mpg is still around 45/50mpg! But if ye do think the Manifold at least needs to be replaced! Does anyone know where I can buy 1 & have a BMW Specialist in Ireland to replace it at a much better price than I was quoted!?!? All Information/Guidance will be very much appreciated. Thank you all very much in advance for your help in relation to this. Regards, MJ |
