Yesterday i was supposed to get my car back ....
They called me and informed that 2 injectors and the turbo were replaced but they found out that the "pre catalisator" and the "catalisator" also have to be replaced.
So, one of the spare parts is arriving from Spain tomorrow and the other one will arrive from Germany next Tuesday (7 days, if no delays happen) ??!!!! What the hell is this ??....
I will keep driving my replace car .... Ford Focus TDCi .... i'm getting used to him .... maybe i will buy one.
And yesterday got to test drive a AUDI A6 3.0 TDI QUATTRO.... Wow... that Quattro system is really something ...
..... and find out that my 75.000 ? BMW is now rated around 45.000 ?, 40% lost in 2 years ..... i will go for the Ford Focus.....

This is exaxtly what I told you, becaouse your engine was running on pure oil from the turbo, your cats where damaged.

I will go to the dealer today to get my car.
The 520dA is drinking more than my 530d. the computer shows around 10/10,5 liters and mine usually is around 8/9 liters at the same speeds...
And i can fell a strange sound coming from the steering/front suspension, it's increasing each day and the car has 4900 kms .... more of the same.... and some strange creeks from the drivers safety belt... and the interior dark colour was changed after one morning of my 2 years daughter using the car is more like light brown at the moment .... ah ah ah ah h

Ok now i'm really angry with this car !
Yesterday went for a little drive near town, and then after a roundabout shifted from 2nd to 3rd pressed the gas to 2.500/3.000 rpms and the Horror movie started...
Car went like crazy the revs went to 5.000 rpms, a lot and i mean a LOT, of white/grey smoke, speed incresing, lots of noise from the engine, and i was in the middle of some cars...
Got to leave the main road to a secondary road and then managed to stop the car braking and keeping the 4th/5th gear...
Engine stopped, smoke from the exhaust, smoke from the front ....
Got the car towed to the dealer .... car is under warranty until 1 st June... i'm waiting for the info about the engine status.
75.000 ?, 530d, 1st June 2004, 96.000 kms and more than 30 days (in 23 months) stopped in the dealer to fix problems....
What the hell is this ....??
:thumbsdown:
Just called the dealer. Car isn't ready. They asked for plus 4 injectors.
Material replaced until now:
- 2 injectors;
- 1 turbo;
- 1 exhaust collector;
- Pre cat;
- Cat;
- 4 injectors.
The engine isn't working regular as it is supposed to, it's failling .... i think they aren't sure about what's failling ....
You know what ? This story is getting too strange for my taste .... when the car is ready ... bye bye.

Driving the 520dA these last days remind how bad the RFT tires are !!!
It's not possible to compare the comfort, grip, noise of the RFT tires and the non RFT....

The problem was that during the road test ......... THE CAR WENT MAD AGAIN and everything was ......... smoke and a trouble to stop the car.
My wife was driving in the same road at the time the car was stopped and smoking, called me and i asked her to check what was the problem.
The same again ....
BMW ordered to replace the complete engine, another new turbo, pre cat, cat, high pressure fuel pump, ....... and a lot more of parts.
"We aren't taking any risks, everything will be brand new, by the time we finish the work your car engine will be just like a new one coming out from the factory in a new car...".
