Bmw M57 M57N Rough Running Symptoms , Smoking Issues , No Start Issues Fix For All 530D 535D Issues

[@WaqasKhan-gk4kw]

Smashing video, pointed out all the common problems whereas garages would never tell ya otherwise.

[@MoNag786]

One more thing I’ve come across on a few of these cars (My Dads old e60 530d and my e65 730d) is the vibration damper or crank shaft pulley. They tend to go out so checking the rubber centre for cracking or wear periodically may also be a recommended.

[@BMWDoctor]

I aint ever come across a diesel that has had the crank shaft pulley derail the whole system as of YET but I'm sure I will its not a common common problem on such vehicles though I might ad and I hardly hear of anyone saying that usually its people who remap them that suffer these kind of problems

[@MoNag786]

@@BMWDoctor We've had 2 go out on the same engine model but different cars. This happened around 180k kms. The AC belt came off due to the failure and knocked out a coolant pipe which gave a coolant warning light alerting us to the problem. I changed the pulley for a generic one and it failed in no time. The car made a terrible knocking sound which was misdiagnosed as an injector. We found the new pulley had failed and damaged the AC pump as well. Changed to OEM BMW pulley and car ran pefectly again.

Hey man im working over my uncles e61 525d 2005 and he has been running with the burned up throttlebody for a while and he pulled over and stopped driving when he saw massive amounts of white smoke from the tailpipe. i fixed the throttle body and cleared the DTC's but now he has pressure and smoke coming from the top cover when i remove the oil cap. but strangely not from the oil level dip stick. engine runs well and no power lack . Thanks, Cheerz!

[@grahamepigney8565]

Only problems I've ever had, and there have been very few, with the M57s in my two 530D E39s have been caused by poor maintenance. Crankcase filters not changed when they should be, they've now been changed for the later washable filters and a blown turbo because one had sat for 12 months or more and hadn't been serviced properly when the (non-BMW) dealer sold it to me. Other than that injectors, EGR etc are all in fine condition after 170,000 miles. The only other failure has been the water pump, both of them had the water pump fail at approx 165,000 miles. According to a number of videos listing common/inevitable failures both of the engines should be completely wrecked by now. Be interested to know what a common failure is 1in4, 1in100, 1in 1000...

hi, looking for advice. have an 07 530d m57. last night the hose from intercooler steel pipe vertical next to radiator to the plastic elbow on the throttle body blew off with a loud pop, the top hise clamp looked like it wasnt tight enough, i refitted the hose and also fitted a new clamp. took it for a test and within 3 minutes when i accelerated it popped again, this time it wasnt the hose that let go, the plastic elbow wgere the metal clio slips in, cracked right off and went into limp mode. im thinking wastegate as something is obviously building geps of pressure. where do i start to look at. also has oil getting through the system as inside of pipe and intercooler is oily. cheers

Hi have a 525d 2008 lci its got always rough start and somthimes wen cold need toi give it bit gas too even start it please waiting for answers what could be

[@jack4399]

Would you know what would be causing the car to go into 'limp' mode? I have a feeling that it is the turbo actuator or MAP sensor maybe? It's a 05 525d, the car when usually 3 gear upwards would cut the power from the turbo at around 2 - 2.5k revs and this would cause it to run under power for the duration of the engine running. Once the car is turned off an on again it works normally until it goes into this mode, when in this mode no smoke is produced, got a fault code (3F57 - boost pressure plate (1272)) sorry for the long winded comment but thought you might know if it's the actuator for sure etc ( it has started to make the noise where it sounds like a alarm from the turbo area when car is off)

[@williamgordon2919]

Do you get any fault codes coming up with the HP fuel pump being faulty. (525D E61. ) I have an egr blanked but no shudder valve fitted, (previous owner) plug is just tucked away. Im guessing it was coded to ignore that fault code. Engine is running very rough, misfiring (its not a constant misfire like an injector, seems to be erratic which cylinder misfires) and cant get any rpm when i press accelerator just shudders and gets rougher. not always but sometimes it smokes white. smells chemical. Im thinking it may be trying to regen when the smoke happens. Ive replaced the MAF, no change. Im scratching my head over this now

[@bobdo6825]

I have a2007 335d just had white smoke from the exhaust could you help diagnose the problem ?

[@baze30]

White is usually steam (water being heated by your exhaust) it can be normal if the car is idle for long periods or not taken on long drives. The worst case is a head gasket leaking water into the engine hence the white smoke. Have you checked your coolant and does the white smoke go after some time...

[@DiscoFang]

White exhaust from a diesel engine can be excess unburned fuel.

730d m57, after driving, locking the car, going to a store and when I come back and press the unlock button on the key fob - it unlocks and sound starts going off, actually it kind of sounds like a long 10-30sec fart, it seems it comes from the right side of the engine (under intake manifold), any ideas? Oh, and also when driving above 1k rpm - drives great, has great power ant torque, but if left on idle - rpms start to jump up and down +-100 rpms. Injectors are tested, filters changed, any ideas? Maybe these 2 problems are caused by the same thing that makes that sound?

Hi Doc I have an issue with my 530d 2004, it vibrates on idle and even more on acceleration particularly around 1500rpm, my mechanic suggests that a piece of the aluminium flaps is stuck in or around one of the cylinders.

Dean, I just bought BMW e46 Coupe, motor is M47 from 2004, from my gopd friend. He maintained it pretty good, oil changes and filters were regular every single year, BUT do you suggest to me to take away swirl flaps and block EGR completely anyway, or I should keep them? I checked trillion forums, videos, etc and its 70% to take em off, and 30% to keep em, and both of these people have good arguments. What should I do? Or if i decide to just clean EGR valve and intake manifold, and remove swirl flaps, will that be a good idea?

Dean hope you keeping well? 2008 BMW E93 330Msport Quick question my breather is the old type and someone has removed the filter and then refitted, Will this affect the running, I know the filter is there for a reason and should be fitted so I'm going to order one. I have removed my swirl flaps and left the actuator connected, I just removed the Control rod, but my boost solenoid is quacking like a duck so gotta do that next. Manifold off again.. inpa mass air flow shows cylinder 2 over pressured on tick over and 5 is low red of the scale, when revved they all level off.. car runs ok but engine rock is bad and tick over is lumpy, inpa gives me fault for egr throttle control adjustment error, but i disconnect the vacuum hose on the egr and the boost solenoid /pressure converter shuts up, so i feel teh egr fault codes will go once i have replaced it. Still think Ive got and injector issue too. This car has been not loved at all. bit like your mates 5 series bud.

HAD GLOW PLUGS COME UP ON SCAN a few months back and Swirl flap actuator? not sure if it was deleted from remap the swirl flaps activator. believed glow plugs and stats was causing white smoke when flooring it in dark and being winter and cold in rear view mirror smoke. also not being up to temp bad main stat and egr stat. sorted now. I know my turbo has play. back and forth not side to side.? resently had exhaust manifold done as i could smell fumes in cabin had a split in it was original tin ONE swapped for cast iron one. swirl flaps done from remap years bk EGR blank. from remap now iv had glow plugs done as 5 where gone, replaced 6 working yesterday, had low temp so main thermostat done and EGR THERMOSTAT all's fine with temp now. also even changed crankcase breather from a vortex bk to a new vortex breather. I no they can be cleaned up but was trying to make sure it's new when put back. since having the Exghust manifold change car has rough idel And smokes bad only on cold start could it be a bad injector after it being removed caused damage?smoking on cold start ups or when left for hours. before I had the exhaust manifold done it wasent smoking on cold start up or rough idol could this be A leaky injector, turbo, or swirl flaps actuator? only smokes on cold start up then gose after 30 seconds a white blue colour. a bit smelly any clues please . sorry for the long message BMW DOCTOR

Timothy Smith Hi. No, I haven’t fixed mine yet. Your list of things done is scary...I haven’t done half of that. My car is however only used for long trips so it doesn’t trouble me too much. I did a leak off test too and my injectors also didn’t show any significant differences. On ISTA though my injector 1 and 3 seemed a bit off spec according to the mechanic I saw. I know my mountings are shot because I get a vibration at idle and I know they work with vacuum so maybe a vacuum leak can somehow affect fueling? I wish I can get to the bottom of this. I’m afraid to interfere with my injectors because the car runs and idles fine. Please do keep me posted if you have better luck.

Hello mate just found your channel and it’s great to finally see someone that really knows there stuff. I have an e60 525d auto 54plate, had the dreaded broken exhaust manifold and nothing but running issues ever since!! I changed manifold and the car pulls off like a rocket... until you come to a stop or run at idling speed for any amount of time then the car loses nearly all boost and struggles to change up to the next gear??? Any ideas on what it could be?? Thanks

wastegate sticking mate or egr clogged up mate egr valve sticks and wont let the car change gear same as the wastegate if its stuck open the egr valve is usually the culprit for that as its computer controlled if that valve dont shut the dme wont let the car change gear

Hi everyone and the Owner of this channel :) I have Bmw M57 engine, model 525 M Sport with 3.0 L 197 HP/145 Kw. I give you all the details because i need to know what type of oil is for this engine..the car has 155.000 mileage on clock. Some people propose thick oil and others thin oil, therefore i would like to keep this engine as much as i can...so i need to know what kind of oil is the best for this engine. Thanks in advance and have a great day everyone :)

[@BMWDoctor]

What do you need to contact me about ? I don’t do repairs outside of KZbin , I also don’t give advise to anyone out of KZbin regarding issues with there car , if you need repairs or work done there is many garages local to you I believe I have answered everything your going to want to contact me about Thanks

[@deanwarnes8711]

Hiya Dean great video your very knowledgeable. Do you have a garage to look over my e53 3.0d think you will identify problems very quickly thanks mate .....Dean

[@BMWDoctor]

I do mate yes but I don’t do work outside of KZbin mate as I have no need I have got guys who can do it for you but they ain’t as clued up as me mate they still run to me when it gets out of there knowledge area but they can do oil change and things like that mate if need be But apart from that mate I stopped doing anybody’s cars last year mate due to having way way to many people visit me

[@deanwarnes8711]

@@BMWDoctor thanks for coming back to me mate..... I've just got a high mileage but with good service history e53 3.0d believe the m57 engine you work on alot. I think it's got 1 or more of the faults you listed in this video. It doesn't feel very powerful. The last owner said it was remaped. I throught this was a good thing not realising things like it pushing the injectors to their max . Also believe the swirl flaps and egr system to be in install again not realising this should be removed prior to the remap etc it seems this car goes against all recommendations ...just hope it's not too bad also when you dump the foot not alot happens better with progressive acceleration bet the egr and whole thing is carboned up to the hills but on the plus no engine lights on dash yet so fingers crossed it's not severe thanks again Dean

[@deanwarnes8711]

O yeah forgot to add possible hard start when fuel is low? Owner warned but no problem before the low fuel light is on .... off the back of your high pressure fuel pump problem

[@jbiz6748]

Can I bring car to you man

[@devlin686]

You don't need the shudder valve as you map it out its useless
