    I bought a BMW E38 2.5 TDS and decided to put in all new injector nozzles since it runs rough on idle, consumes a ton of fuel and they do not spray so good when I tested them. Every injector was relatively easy to loosen with short wrench except one. The one is with injector needle sensor. I...

  8. BMW ECU Tuning and Standalone Tuning
    Hello all. I fitted an e39 tds engine into a 1967 mk2 jaguar. To cut a long story short. I replaced the original Auto ECU with a one from a manual car as my ECU went into limp mode after being fitted with a manual box. Thats not my issue. In limp mode it would struggle to get up to 40mph...

    New to the forum, hope I'm in the right place. I've been a happy owner of a 2000 318 TDs compact over the last year and 15k miles, and I've been positively surprised by the reliability of it (for a BMW) until a few weeks ago. Basically it was all fine untill the cold weather started coming and...
