old grey steve · 07-23-2014, 04:41 PM

A 320D 2005 94000 miles FBMSH

As you can see its terminal, bearing shells distroyed don't need to mention anything else. Sad really as its been main dealer from day one

Customer wasn't sure what the noise was sadly they know now.

Ooh, that looks expensive.... Summer holiday on hold...

richk84 · 07-23-2014, 05:18 PM

Is that the result of a timing chain going?

Phil325i · 07-23-2014, 05:42 PM

Main dealer servicing presumably means CBS - in which case oil probably not changed as frequently as it should...

mob17 · 07-23-2014, 06:28 PM

Thats the excellent low maintenance BMW engine we have nowadays

evoix · 07-23-2014, 06:50 PM

they screwed up on these motors. All these mistakes and all they recalled was fuel pump, and turbos/wastegate rattle.

Bet it didn't hurt as much as this one..
15k on the clock and spun a crank shell.Destroyed the bed plate and crankshaft.The bill?£22,000

What is this above engine from.

KM79 · 07-23-2014, 09:04 PM

It's an s65 V8 from an m3

Having main dealer service means nothing to me, Id rather see documents showing its been to a specialist independent garage

I don't think this is an N47 engine.

2005 would be an M47 i believe

I would prefer to have car without main stealer history to be fair.

If you've got a service plan for instance they won't touch it until the light or time duration comes up for these engines its way way too long plus when looked at the breather valve was saturated air filter was IMO dirtier than I'd of expected. Engine of course is scrap. Replacement engine going in as its the only option.

And this is why I change the oil and filter between scheduled services and also change the air filter, micro filter, oil separator and clean the EGR as part of a regular 6 month or 8-10k mile maintenance program.

Yep and right now I'm looking at a 520D 83000 odd miles breather saturated, air filter not the best condition fuel filter never been changed as far as I can make out pollen filter dirty, BMW main dealer history to 50K another indy til we've seen it

What sort of knocking sound was it? A metallic knock or a low tone thumping type sound? I have a low thump sound but am assuming its my DMF which i know is knackered anyway and getting changed next week....
