I was awaiting your response Gabe - I knew all that RTV would get your attention

well i started the car - it is now maybe a 5 out of 10 - instead of a 1 out of 10 Now i will patiently await the new boots - and pray that RTV doesn't magically jump into the intake manifold lol

I thought i would upload my recent addition of Temporary Fix / Hack Sins commited, since i still need to drive this car daily - and the start idle is ROUGH, cause the tear in the boot is pretty severe Going to be waiting another week or two before the new boots arrive and other various parts from overseas There was no easy way of doing this, and no way to avoid the mess - After cleaning it up with some wax and grease remover - i went to town with some super RTV Wish me luck Don't judge me

Anyone had the actual diaphragm fail on the unit its self?

Hey all, thinking of doing the DISA on the car Anyone done it via rebuild kit? I see mixed reviews about it Or should i just buy the complete unit

Shot - hey thanks for your diagnosis with the symptoms i described - i was pretty sure it was a vacuum leak, but doubtful i was going to find anything on second look. Maybe it just split open properly between the last time i looked

Thinking of doing everything to be honest - is that covered in the CCV kit usually? Or is it just a thin vacuum line - where does that one go to? Whats it for

Hi all - i'm ordering new vacuum lines / boots / CCV kit from overseas but in the mean time any one got a spare one of these lying around they could sell me? The one connected to the MAF https://www.rmeuropean.com/Products/13541438761-MFG36-V294.aspx 2002 e46 330ci M54

Any one got one of these spare I can buy while I wait for a kit from overseas?

Bloody hell, I did this last time and couldn't spot any cracks ... Started taking vacuum lines off again and spotted this huge crack behind in the pipe that goes to the MAF How I didn't spot this when I last took it off is beyond me.

Autel Maxisys Pro When I grab the tool again from brothers workshop going to upload more to this post, and hopefully eventually get to the end of it so it provides some help for others in the future thanks for replies so far

The scan device is only picking up mis-fire codes on 2 cylinders, no other fault codes. Thats why i'm trying to see if anyone has experienced something similar before i start dumping money into a workshop to diagnose it.

Having a bit of issues diagnosing a rough idle on my 2002 e46 330ci The basic story is that when I start the car it's fine for maybe 30 seconds and then the idle is very rough, pulsating between 400 and 800, nearly feels like im about to stall when i put it into gear, no power until it jumps back over the 1000rpm mark - only on first start - and doesn't matter if its cold or warm in the day - every now and then i think i can hear a mis-fire noise too from the intake during its splutter i.e. once i've driven the car for a bit and re-start it, no issues - but start it up the next day Has anyone had a problem like this? Or know what this might sound like ---- I've checked fault codes on a reader and it really only picks up on the mis-fires on cylinders What would be the approach to diagnose whether it's like - Coils? can coils display symptoms only on first start like this and then go away once its all warmed up? - DISA - I thought i DISA value issue would be consistent even after car warmed up? - ICV - CCV Any comments on this would be great before i start digging further down the rabbit hole

pics - or it didn't happen

I felt the consumption he said it was running was a little hungry, suppose all the more reason for a PPI. Are there any shops in waihi anyone knows about? I'm in Tauranga but the car is in waihi which makes it a bit difficult

the current owner says it's averaging about 12-13 km to the litre (7-8 ish L to the 100km) Is that pretty much the average for a 320d touring?

will definitely be doing that - Diesels scare me for sure, and 220km is a tad high What sort of fuel consumption would the 320d touring be hitting 5-6l per 100?

Ok thanks to you lot i'm making a swing to the dark side, which i never dreamed i would - Diesel spotted an ok 320d touring - Does anyone know if they are AWD or 4x4? or are they RWD like everything else

my mechanic brother said, the injectors are $500 a piece when they go - has anyone else had any big repairs on the diesels?

thanks KwS i might get in touch - Tme link is expired! I've been eyeing up a 320d touring - looks nice, but engine km's are like over 220km what starts failing round those high kms on them? anything expensive on diesels?

12.5l to the 100 - i'm looking to get back under the 10 (it's under 10 if it's purely open road , but my driving has hills, traffics lights and town involved) the 320i i was test driving was around 7-8l to the 100 when i was driving but that engine scares me now because of this thread ^^

Anyone had a 323 / or 325 in that same series what sort of consumption you getting?

O - i see, just checked now. Maybe it's time to dive into the dark side - Diesel

I thought the 320's would be a 6cylinder? or is it 323 onward
