Sounds like a turbo issue? Did it affect performance anyhow?

hi yeh power dropped would only drive about 20mph ??
Did it stay that way or is it normal again?
Maybe the turbo has gone... Or the feared swirl flaps?

no its still the same ,,what the ?? are the feared swirl flaps????
Major diesel engine failure
Cleaning the intake manifold in a diesel engine
Major Engine Problem : Anti Swirl / Butterfly flaps in air manifold
530d - Broken Swirl Flap = Broken Engine, Diesel engine failure
However, it can be anything... I hope you get it fixed.

My Ride: '04 530d Executive, all options except sunroof and comfort seats
ECU remapped by ZipTuning to 260+bhp.
Isn't it just the auxilary heater? It comes on when it's cold outside and produces white smoke and noise.
I have it too and you can hear it purring away even when you've switched the engine off and get out of the car. (It stops after a couple of minutes)
