If you still have troubles with overheating, pay attention to the condition of , and. This kit fits E46 323i 323ci 325i M54 engine 325ci M54 engine 325xi 328i 328ci 330i 330ci 330xi. I changed the ccv and found that it did improve it slightly. Like my past vehicles, it does not use any measureable amount of oil during that 5K interval Thank God, my 550 has a dipstick. The car has covered only 346 miles in 10 days when they originally put in 2 ltrs of engine oil.
There's also , one of the busier forums on Boards. Anyway it's turned into another long rant, but I feel that a problem shared is a problem halved and I do sympathise with all those in the same boat as me. This is due to the fact that both motors are equipped by different crankshafts, connecting rods and pistons. The best motor oils will coat the engine internals in a strong layer of lubrication and hold its strength even under extreme heat. But no offence to E60 owners, I don't like the look of the interior, and the exterior, although has grown on me over the years is nothing near as nice to look at as the E39. I'm not saying that I'm not mechanically minded, but I've fitted more engines on Rover's than I've done internal work.
I've done loads of headgaskets when I used to own Rover's lol and once I timed myself to whip the cylinder head off a 1. On Friday of this week , I removed the vacuum line and decided to try the car back the stock way and see what would happen. All these changes helped to increase the power of the engine to 343 horsepower at 7,900 rpm and a torque 365 at 4,900 rpm. When I took it to the dealer for a top-off, I was told I believe it was a porter, not a mechanic said that a liter every 1000 or so was normal. Any dealer that would treat me like that would not see me or my money again.
Engine works fine, pulls well etc. Failures in the system will allow raw oil to enter the intake and eventually into the engine itself which can have disastrous effects on engine performance and longevity. The newest oil specifications have made oil thinner with less friction and drag on internal surfaces. You will probably find that the oil control rings on the pistons are gummed up and stuck in the piston groove. Be careful when using any form of Racing Oil.
There are a lot of acronyms and unfamiliar terminology used in oil discussions. Chuck cwbii I agree with you. At each oil change simply unscrew the canister and empty the trapped oil with your regular used oil. This is an interesting topic for me. At lease you have a dipstick, whereas new car owners now have to trust the oil level sensor, usually dumping a litre in every time the warning light comes on. Any advice, tips, possible causes are greatly appreciated. This has made the engines burn less fuel but at the expense of protection.
After 100,000 miles of mileage 150,000 km you need to change connecting rod bearings, timing chain and timing chain tensioner on your M3. You can also change your driving habits to avoid oil sludge and build-up. I then had an E36 328 that I bought with 45K on it. Unfortunately, these blow by gases contain water vapor which is a byproduct of combustion and pick up oil mist from and the windage cloud and cam lubrication system as they travel through the crank case. . Heavier oils will also help piston rings maintain engine compression restoring lost power.
Symptoms are rough idle, weaker performance and higher fuel consumption. But, without researching it further, I find the premise a bit far fetched on intuition alone. Of all the cars that have the M54 unit fitted E46,E39,E60,E38 ,what percentage do you think are using oil? Engine works fine, pulls well etc. And then I am also interested in the oil consumption issue that seems to bother M54 engines, mine included. Also, race cars tend to have much more frequent oil changes so there is no need for extra detergents. I ran this combo for about 500 miles.
My wife also has a 09 328i with 20,000 miles. But there is a world of difference between buying an E36 and buying an E39. Valve clearances are following cold engine : inlet 0. What they couldn't explain away, in my case, was why the 6 spark plug had to be changed every 10K miles due to oil fouling. With more than 34,000 repair solutions for cars and commercial vehicles you can be sure Febi has you covered. As long as you have everything off, you can rest assured that new parts will last and be reliable. .
They use synthetics that are more resistant to heat and stress than petroleum-based oil. An E36 has all the technology of a Cortina,whereas the E39 in comparison is like a space shuttle. A higher cSt is a thicker oil, giving more protection but less efficiency. Same on Saturday--no oil usage---today Sunday--I drove 300 miles at 70 to 80 miles an hour---no oil usage--don't know how this has worked out--but I'm feeling allot better about things. The car is due a serive in the next few weeks, and i'm going to point out the excessive oil consumption. However, a low viscosity does not automatically mean less protection the chemical makeup of the oil determines that. Sorry, it's a long post but I am getting fed up with this engine.
