Yes Mick you're right. In E39 guise, the 5 series diesels were initially 525TDS and 530d, 143bhp and 184bhp respectively. When the 525d came out in '01 it had 163bhp and the 530d was 194bhp!

Right, got car back from dealer today and got talking to technician. Denishogan and BMWCare you were very close, apparently it was a vacuum hose which had spilt and worked itself loose from the EGR valve, also there is a rod leading to the turbo which had seized. So a new hose was fitted and the rod unseized. I also got a print-out from the GT1. There were unrelated faults which were dealt with and cleared. So the cars power is back to normal with the ability to pull tree stumps out of the ground!!! A good recommendation there boys! Thanks. |

First off..its the fuel pump that needs a tuning I think!!it would give it that kick ye are looking for.... As before christmas on the old fuel pump in the engin bay,this was turned up to the last..great kick,but I still had difficulty starting and when cold it was a night mare stuttering down the road.the new pump was put in and the fueling also turned down and the kick was not the same..baverian Motors didnt want to turn up the new pump so early in its life,said it would do damage. |
