Podge, I've just skim-read this post and it seems to me that guy's are throwing ideas out there and you are trying those ideas blindly. No disrespect chaps, you're only trying to help of course.
I know petrol cars, I know little about diesels, so if I were in your shoes podge I would be taking my car to a diesel specialist. There must be a diesel man somewhere that you can at least talk to concerning your problem. Even if its just to get his opinion on your problem before you have to admit defeat and take it to him to have a look at. I hate to say it but I bet he'd be able to solve your problem alot sooner than us petrolheads could! Forget about it being a beemer, its a diesel truck/lorry/tractor-whatever, and thats all you need to know right now. Turbo, non-turbo, a diesel engine is a diesel engine. Just my tuppence worth. Good luck

So it was vacuum related ,so the "blind ideas some were throwing up here" were in fact proven to be true! If you read my post #20 this is what it says:- It just takes a small bad seal for you to loose boost pressure!If you rip all your hoses off,it will make even worst and you wont learn anything! Best to check all individual vac tubes and hoses and the clips. Or get someone with live data recording equipment to record the boost on test drive.

Powers1, as for your two attempts at discreditting my suggestion of podge seeing a diesel mechanic, you really need to get your facts right before you quote people. At no point did I say the ideas were silly, nor did I say that people were throwing them out there blindly. You need to read my post again. Perhaps your English is not as good as it should be, or it may just be the fact you have a chip on your shoulder and are reading what you want to read? I don't know and quite frankly I don't care. Just get your facts right in future when quoting someone, thats all. Also, you will note that the ACTUAL problem was found by the mechanic, and not by your ideas of check this hose and check that hose. So it being 'proven' isn't strictly true is it? It would need to have been the area you were suggesting to try. It wasn't, was it. Oh, and you having to point out that you feel you solved it or played any part of the problem being resolved-like it was your idea all along that is was a hose because it was 'vacuum related'-hahahaaaaa (on a turbo engine-geez, ya think?!!) is a sad testament to your small mind. Dear god!  As it happens the problem was a mile away from where you were saying to check. But there you go. You carry on in your own little world sunshine. Podge, as I said, very pleased you got your motor 'back' mate. There's nothing worse than your car not doing what it should be doing. Although mine's not a diesel, thanks for sharing the find with us.

 As well as this and because of your lack of technical knowledge,your only arguments are personal attacks,yet AGAIN!!  If you had any knowledge of turbo-diesel engines and their vaccum control systems,you wouldnt even have put in your last post and make a complete a** of yourself again. My facts are right!You did suggest to the OP to see a Diesel specialist and I did read your post correctly when you said people here were throwing ideas out and he is just trying them blindly,so you better read your post again so you remember what you wrote.  Agree!The actual problem was found by the mechanic,and what did he find?He found a disconnected vaccum pipe on a solenoid! Do you know what this means?It means that from as early as post #5,from X5 Sport,the "ideas the guys were throwing out" ,were right on the money,as the problem was in fact vacuum related.I advised the OP to check all the vac pipes....The whole vac system,not just the easily accessible. The actual location of the problem was found by his mechanic,but what he found was exactly what the guys first suggested,as being vacuum related. Now thats sorted ,explain this comment your made?Yes..vacuum on a turbo engine...... "problem being resolved-like it was your idea all along that is was a hose because it was 'vacuum related'-hahahaaaaa (on a turbo engine-geez, ya think?!!) is a sad testament to your small mind. Dear god! "

The part that you are talking about is attached to the engine, right side near the rear when looking from the front. You dont need to drain oil from the gearbox (unless it is one of the electronic solenoids in there) and certainly you dont have to remove the sump. Is this what the mechanic told you, so he could charge you the €120 euro to push the pipe back on? Or, are you being funny  Anyway, doesnt matter, glad you have yours fixed. And before anyone says anything about vacuum on Turbos, I have spent 5 months trying to trace a possible vacuum issue on mine, several people on this forum have tried to help, so i know every inch of pipe and vacuum solenoids on a 3.0d (wish it was a pipe loose). I must say you asked a genuine question and to weed through the crap from people that all they want to do is abuse other people that responded is so tedious, no wonder people dont come back to these forums. A few people in this Topic should learn about the car before attacking others replies. Everyone gives ideas that can always help, even if it isnt pinpointed. I cant see one reply from those that actually gave advice being incorrect. Just wish it helped me..
