inlet manifold

Hi All I have a facelift 320i Sport Touring with the 2.2l M54 engine. I had my mechanic replace the fuel filter & vaccum line (which attaches to the little pressure regulator & comes off at a 90 degree angle). It's the one in the top right with the the top green arrow in this pic (borrowed...

Hi, I have a 2002 E46 330d which I bought about a year ago. I loved the car from the moment I got it and had no problems except that the rear reversing sensors dont work and occassionaly when I accelerate hard the DDE light would come on and the engine would go into limp mode, If I stopped and...

Hi Peeps, Just a quick one really, my small turbo is not working, im sure its not the turbo itself.. Im going to whip the inlet manifold off, and while its off do the following: 1) Replace all vacuum hoses 2) Replace the two turbo pressure sensors 3) Delete the egr valve and cooler (yes im...

Hey guys, as per the title I took the inlet manifold off the other day and replaced the glow plugs in my 2007 2.0d lci. I also did the air filter and both thermostats as I noticed on a 200+ mile trip the hottest temperature reading I got was 68c Went for a drive afterwards and temp got up to...

Hello - I'm considering to skip the oil catch can install I did 20.000km ago (drawn in red on the picture below), and instead just cap off the intake boot and let the crankcase breather vapors exit, maybe through a hose away from the engine compartment (drawn in green on the picture below)...

Hi i am wondering the 323 has the same m52 engine as a 325 but has a smaller inlet manifold. Can you fit a e46 325 inlet manifold to a e46 323??? If so how difficult is it. Also id like to know if there is anyway to increase the power whilst keeping it naturally asperated. Many thanks

hi, I’m new to here today but thought it was about time to ask for some advice if anyone would be so kind to give it, i brought a 330d about a year ago and had it sprayed cause it was vandalised with the previous owner, but it’s never revved past 4000rpm and now the inlet manifold has blown out...

Hi All, My car (E46 330d Touring) was idlling poorly when cold, making a loud running noise and was emiting some black smoke from exhaust. It also has some smoke coming from the engine compartment, when cold. When warm everything was fine and performance was normal. I took it to the dealer and...
