Car currently standing on 196xxxkm.
So yesterday i "gently" opened the butterfly valve in my exhaust, noticed it was stuck closed.
Car now sounds much better, and seems to breath easier, if that makes sense.
Look at the gunk that came out. :bin::thumbdo:

Anybody else had this problem?
Had the car for more that 3 year, did more than 80k and the car is running better that ever. Best daily ever!!

Straight 6 howl makes up for ANY fuel consumption losses against a diesel.
And the 330i can be very economical if driven sensibly.
I have personally witnessed 6.2L/100 average on a long run.
BTW - is that nappa leather?
.......and i like the amber :fencelook:
Chris, I got 6.2l/100 on a trip to Nellspruit and back, actually took a picture of it.
Going to Uvongo in 2011, I got 6.8l/100 but my foot was "heavy" the last 170kms of the trip... :rollsmile:
Leon said:Took photos just now so time for a small update.
Currently standing at 216 000km.
Just did a major service at Garage 808.
Together with cleaning the air intake and disa valve.
Also in the last year, I did bushes front and back.
New radiator, water and petrol pump.
Did the steering wheel angle sensor.
4 x New Tyres front and back at 210k
Clutch was done at around 160 000km
I enjoy this car more and more, still drives as the day i got her, maybe even better!
