E46 320D health-check in Gauteng ?

[Mudder]

Hi there chaps. I am looking at taking over a 2002 E46 320D that's had an easy life from a friend. It's been used as a mom's taxi mostly and did low km's urban runs. It still has less than 100 000 Km. What bothers me is smoke under hard acceleration. Looks like over-fueling. Doubt there has ever been tampered with the ECO/Boost and things like that. I'd like so me diagnostics to be run to find the cause of the smoke. (It's not oil - no weird noises nothing - I have had two of these cars so know them reasonably well).

Question: Who in Gauteng is best equipped and comes recommended to perform such diagnostics ?

Any assistance much appreciated.

Regards

Mudder

Thats normal, if it did not smoke under heavy throttle then you needed to worry

if you really want to check it out, even tho its normal as the guys said, then see if you can get the car to Ross Dunn in Midrand, to do a health check.

And what diesel are you using cause if you use 500 ppm it will smoke more then when you use 50 ppm :thumbs:
