Hi,
I have a 2000 E46 330D which has recently had a faulty diesel injector. I have discovered some facts about the engine during my experiences in getting the injector replaced. I just thought I'd put something up here so that you can all share my experiences and post your own comments so we can discuss this issue.
Surely someone must have something to add to this?
Remember that a large number of readers here are from the US, BMW don't sell the M57 there. Also it's a relatively new engine so many folk don't have experience of it.
I get your point about the US, but the M57 engine dates back to about '99 in Europe and so now so getting quite old and many with high miles. I believe that the injectors are already one of the known high failure items so as the car gets older I expect many others will encounter this problem.
The intention of my comments here is just to give an honest review of my experience as when I needed help I drew a blank trying to research this for myself on the WWW. Now that I've created a thread for comments on this issue then what follows can be useful for others. I believe that these newsgroups are searchable via Google.
quite interesting to know about this I am kind of researching about possibly buying a 530d ( E39 ) which I think has this enginer doesnt it ? I know that Peugeot injectors are quite expensive as well, ( about
100 ukp ) and I also know that they are quite tight. I d> I get your point about the US, but the M57 engine dates back to about '99 inHi, I am just seeing if anyone knows where i can download this software for my car PC project. Thanks
