E90 smoking

[owengindan]

Ok the reason why I registered is because I have a problem....a big one and I dunno who the best people will be to contact Iono

I drive an E90 320i which has started to use some oil a while back

The mileage is now on +- 175 and it started at about 30 000km ago until I started noticing white smoke coming from the exhaust on pull away.

The car has been smoking on pull away for some time now and over the past month or so, the smoking has gotten very bad. I have chatted to a few people and most of them say its valve stem seals I was very hesitant to hand my car over to just any one especially when the head has to come off as this is my only ride.
Do you guys have any recommendations as to where or who I can take my car to I am in the Alberton Brackendowns area.

This seems to be a common issue on the E90 320i :bangdesk: My brother in law and my cousin both suffered with an issue similar to this.

The one car had valve stem seals issues and the other was a brake vacuum pump that caused the car to smoke.

Not sure who you can go to in that area but i hope this helps in some way.

Had the same problem with my E90 320i. Had the Valve Stem Seals replaced and no more smoking...Consider a head job when you do the seals.

Yip, valve stem seals bud!!
Sold my previous e90 with 115k on the clock,cause of the same prob. I'm sure you top up your oil each month...if so, then its definitely valve stem seals.
