i think martin would like to refer to the car as being a big learning tool. a tool to becoming a e90 diesel expert.

Seems like you have had to replace a sh#t lead of parts on your car! :smashScreen:

 

[Spannie]

It is probably the most unreliable 330d ever produced, trust my first foray into the Bavarian marque to be a tough one. Hopefully the car is sorted now.

A very steep learning curve yes! If it weten't for DIY the car would have probably cost R40k plus in repairs!

So can we spin it yet?

 

[Spannie]

Update! I bled the clutch and it feels amazing! There was air in the system since the time I removed the Clutch Delay Valve (CDV). Since then the clutch was a little hard but I got used to it an just never got around to bleeding the clutch. After I accidentally sucked the clutch line dry (couldn't close the bleed nipple quick enough while using the mityvac), there was even more air in the system, but I got all the air out of the system last night and the clutch feels awesome.

Clutch now takes halfway up, feels softer to depress, the travel and feedback is more linear, the clutch pedal is more responsive at the top when you put your foot on the pedal (not squishy any more), and the gears take easier and the gearbox itself just feels more slick. What a great feeling, I should have done this right away.

And yes Shaun, she spins and goes sideways much better with the new diff. I suspect the diff was damaged from the start. The car feels completely different with the new diff.

The car hasn't broken anything in the last 7 weeks!

Yeah I just got one with issues unfortunately. They are very nice cars though! You should see the surprise on the faces of G7 GTI drivers when you keep up or slowly crawl past them :rollsmile:
