Hi guys, I have just bought a 05 535d that has a few “ issues “ It has no power under 3k revs and some kind of fuel/oil leak onto the exhaust but knew that when I bought it. Basically a garage told the guy that I bought it off that the small turbo was shot without looking at it at all and just...

Hi all, I'm suffering from weeping oil from the swirl flaps on my M57/TU2 and have been researching blanking them off but there are reports that it makes the DPF work harder, in some reports up to 2 or 3 times more frequent with blanks fitted, is this a genuine side effect of blanking them off...

After taking my car to a few Garages local to me and getting nowhere, I went over to BW chiptune yesterday and saw Dom, it was a couple of hours drive for me. I have to say totally worth it! I had the swirl flaps deleted and an oil leak from the oil filter housing sorted out on my e91 320d...

I have a 2004 e61 525d I’m wanting to remove the swirl flap but I’m lead to believe there are 2 different sizes for the blank kit 22mm and 32mm is there any easy way of knowing the size without removing the inlet as I don’t want to keep taking it on and off as knowing my luck something will...

Hi Everyone, I've only just found my way here so let me know if this is in the wrong place etc. I have a 2006 BMW 118 5 door which is starting starting to show its age in a few ways. The rear mud guard / flap has started to detach from the bodywork. I've had a look around and it looks as...

Car is a 2010 E91 LCI 320d. Trying to find where the active radiator flap, upper, gets its signal from. Looking at TIS it would seem that the signal is via the LIN bus from the DDE. Does anyone know where the LIN bus is taped into for the active flaps? From research earlier models, <Aug...

Has anyone suffered with a lack of power after having the swirl flaps replaced on a 2.0 diesel? I was thinking of doing mine but a ‘bmw specialist’ told me my engine, m47 I believe has the better more reliable swirl flaps installed? And that he’s had customers complain of a big power loss after...

Hi, My Exhaust back box is completely rusted, and in need of replacement. I have discovered I have the Golf Tee Mod from one of the previous owners (screw in the Vacuum hose). However, there is no exhaust flap valve on the exhaust. My guess is, this must be the 2nd exhaust installed. Has...

Hi there, Just looking for some advice, I bought a 2008 accident damaged and non running X3 e83 35D, the symptom was no power, no stable engine temperature control, 2 very distinctive loud turbo whails and a host of blocked DPF error codes. Remove the exhaust, and the 2 DPF’s looked...

Probably pointless to some but has anyone capped the vac pipe from the engine bay instead of exhaust, I can't see why you'd want a vacuum running all the way to backbox then returning.
