exhaust smell in the car
Hi
I have a X5 e53 2004 mod, when I stand still with the engine running then I am bothered with exhaust smell in the car, can not find any leak in the exhaust system but have heard others who are bothered with the same problem, this is a weakness on these cars or does anyone have any suggestions what it comes from? grateful for all suggestions :-) |

See this thread... (many images missing sorry). https://xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/...-pictures.html I'll replace the missing images one day soon... :rolleyes: Here's the manifold I used - good product... https://x8r.co.uk/replacement-cast-i...diesel-engines |
Thanks Wpoll :-) it may also explain why it goes a bit uneven at 2000-3000 rpm and turbo kicks in late

There are at least three ways to replace the manifold: - 1. from above. Requires removal of the valve cover, which requires removal on the intake manifold and all the injectors. :confused: 2. from below. Requires removal of the reinforcing plate and exhaust system. :confused: 3. from the side. Requires removing less major items but you need the hands and dexterity of a gynaecologist... :confused: I used #3, because I hadn't seen anyone do it this way before and felt sure it could be done. It can. ;) Needed a few special tools etc. but it's all outlined in the thread I linked above. I'll try to get some time to replace the images later today... at least on the post showing the final work (post #39) ... |
Images now all replaced on post #39 - https://xoutpost.com/1142332-post39.html

Thanks for the very useful thread Wpoll, I think I'm going for # 3 and replaced it from the side
