    I've had high consumption on my mini too same engine, turbo has been replaced a year ago dpf "cleaned" so the garage said, almost a year to the day the DPF blocked up again and the high oil consumption never really went away, so I changed the pcv but didn't seem to be a noticeable change in consumption, I want to try force a regen to clear the dpf code and replace turbo actuator dpf gasket then potentially re attempt the pcv.. this is common across nearly every BMW engine for the pcv to fail fortunately as you know the non serviceable part is very easily serviceable I've done many of these now. Great video mate thank you gives me hope for mine, if your curious check it out on my channel, but thanks again buddy 🙏👍

      I guess I am just old school. I remember when stuff from there was considered junk, same for Japanese cars, we laughed at the first civic. My high school basketball coach had one, so one day me and three other guys picked it up and moved it, lol. He thought someone had stolen his car. It may be true that a lot of stuff comes from there now, but I avoid it if at all possible. I pay to much for repairs, but I don’t wanna hear any Sh$t if said part fails. My mechanic won’t put any parts on that are not OEM, doesn’t mean I have to get parts from him, but he won’t put any on my car that are not made to that standard. He says he can’t warranty the work, and I need a warranty

    I would say from experience, it's either the injectors, dpf could be also causing issues for the sensors and car would try to compensate over fueling. Most don't understand DPFs, very easy when you know how. Most don't clean them proper either. Top tip all diesels when regening the side mirrors heat up it's in the coding, so never switch off during a regen. Best person for DPFs is ORiley's on here look him up he is by far thee best. Carbon cleaning doesn't work, he shows you the best way by far. As said most don't do it correctly and still charge. The water leaks are lower behind the bumper, 👍

    • @davidhenderson7433
      @davidhenderson7433 3 місяці тому

      Don't allow any mobile mech or anyone with software to force a regen, if ever needed, because trust me it ain't needed and actually quite dangerous. Defo looks like maybe over or under fueling. Use live data to check, read the values on cylinders, exhaust gasses, differential pressure sensor etc.

      This model doesn’t have a DPF if only it did I don’t mind them…I think it’s just generally that sooted up a good run should help and maybe some egr cleaner now it’s been cleared we will see. I can’t see it getting through MOT emissions if it doesn’t clear. I’m going to give it a spirited drive on way to MOT Wednesday see what happens. At least it’s accelerating properly now…
