320d engine re-build

[mikem]

Hi people,I am a new member, not sure of which forum to use but hope someone out there can maybe help / advise. I am completely re-conditioning the engine of a 2000 model E46 320d. The only workshop manual I can find is in Spanish. I don't understand most of the content and am a bit out of my depth with the assembly and re-fitting. Can anyone suggest where I may get an English manual? I am in Port Elizabeth and would also consider paying for some experienced help. Look forward to any suggestions. Thx.

Thanks for the reply but I'm not at the skill level to use the tis and all the special kit they call up is surely for dealers workshops.Will look at again though.Have just downloaded the Spanish one again by mistake.Manuel in Fawltytowers comes to mind.

Hey guys it's been a while since I have posted... nevertheless

I went to fill my car (e90 320d) up yesterday and I asked for R200 diesel, I proceeded to check the balance on my card to see if I have to transfer money. (Like I always do).

The petrol attendant put 16 liters of ULP95, without even seeing that both the fuel cap is green and says Diesel, I paid and drove off. After a few km I was almost home, when I felt there was something not lekker with my car.

I would say I drove about 6-7km.... is this the death of my engine?
