Hi guys
I have a weird problem with my 330D
Took it to 2 different people to check for error codes and only the glow plugs came out with errors.
Its has new injectors, all new vacuum pipes.
It is a automatic.
Tested with a new MAF and still did the same.
The problem is when I floor it its dead below 2500rpm and then starts to stutter feels like running on 5cylinders and black smoke, I lift my foot 1cm of the accel and floor it again and all the power is there.
when I put it in 1st and gradually accelerate it feels like something frees up at 2500 rpm and I can feel the power.
any ideas?
Regards
Firstly do not worry about glow plugs. My E46 and E90 have glow plug erros. Non event. Our climate is glow plug friendly.
Please confirm the following.
Is the hesitation present in every gear at exactly the same RPM every time? If so then your VNT is in fact faulty.
If it is sporadic and comes and goes under different circumstances, like when the car is cold vs hot then I would have to suspect the injectors. One or more might be faulty. Unless you physically saw them installing brand new injectors the 'recon' ones might not mean much.
The reason I'm saying this is that Nick's old car is showing similar symptoms but also displays pinging under load at low RPM.
Hope this helps
