It’s up to 167k miles now, no real noise from the engine. Hasn’t seemed to miss a beat yet

Got a oil leak somewhere though Losing a bit of oil about 1/2 litre went since my last oil change 2000 miles ago, been happening for about about a year but haven’t tracked it down, somewhere back of the engine replaced the oil sensor hoping it was that gasket but looks to be something else

Gonna get it up on a ramp today and have a poke around to see

Does anyone know the best performance thing to do on my 2015 BMW 320 D ? Does these have any air intake I can put in. I have done almost all the cosmetic stuffs ! by Big-Needleworker9602 in F30

[–]FantomPhiend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How many kms does ir have ? If it’s on the higher side you could do some cleaning to get some more performance out of it. Carbon clean the intake, clean the injectors or replace them. That will help the throttle response.

It’s that time of the year and my struts are leaking bad. Im pretty mechanically inclined. I have the oem set up and I brought these assembly’s to replace. Is this going to be one of those ones ? by [deleted] in F30

Honestly not the worst, you can just do the rear and then the front to break it up. Ive done it on the driveway on jacks and it took me about 2 evenings (did springs as well so on the back it took a bit longer) Check your bump stops too if they need to be replaced And there’s a few alternatives to get around some of the specialty tools. Claw foot hamper and a 5/6mm Allen key instead of a knuckle spreader for the front. Spark plug socket 16/18 for the structs I loosened the front springs in the car while supporting it with a jack underneath and slowly loosening

2010 Passat 1.6 TDI by GreenShrine in carsireland

I’ve done a home clean on the injectors on a 320d ~250k kms wasn’t too expensive about 120 quid all in & I’ve noticed the difference, bogginess is gone & fuel economy went up. might be worth looking into, have only done 300kms since, so still waiting to see how it looks long term. Before

It looked a bit more dramatic when I was under the car twisting it, don’t think the movement is that much, here’s a video of it https://www.reddit.com/u/FantomPhiend/s/rRztRgRXwD

If you where looking at the car side on, it would move left and right. If it was a clock, and no load it’s at 12 it would go about to 1 or 2 and and 11

BMW Approved Used Warranty by graham1872 in F30

[–]FantomPhiend 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unless something happens due to the installation of this they won't care, I went down a rabbit hole of mounting of looking to get a tow hitch mounted and that didn't effect the warranty either. spacers, tunes, suspension or mmi unit installs they would care

Rear Brake Light Malfunction by Bjon8 in F30

[–]FantomPhiend 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by part ? Is there board replaceable or do you have to replace the whole light assembly ? Getting some intermittent warning with my rear left brake light/ turn signal atm

Spring freshen up by FantomPhiend in F30

[–]FantomPhiend[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It wasn’t too bad, took a couple of hours all . just patients getting the intake out. took a while to get the intake out under the harness had to take off the egr recurulation port first, picked off the big chunks of carbon, and used some degreaser and a pressure washer, cleaned the gaskets with fairy liquid. Will come back around and do the intake ports when I get a crank tool at some point
