Tech talk > BMW diesel N57 engine extreme oil consumption > 2 L per week . Therefore it has an over 70% clogged DPF ( diesel particulate filter)!
Owner driving or limping this thing around for a year ! When he eventually decided to see us . Him and his choosen mechanic trying to fix this thing for over a year . The problem is now multifold > due to clogged DPF the system is trying to run a regeneration on the DPF. This results in extremely high volume of fuel being added to the combustion process to light up > burn out the DPF to restore the exhaust gas flow . This causing a constant fuel wash off of the cylinder walls exacerbating accelerating engine wear . The intake tract the EGR system all clogged with oily soot choking the engine further. This reminds me of a patient > when the doctor tells him he has terminal cancer and the reaction of the patient is I will try home remedies first .
A year later the tumor spread everywhere and now the doctor should and expected to perform a miracle?! Sorry Sir there is nothing we can do in here , the cost of repairs would exceed the value of the vehicle. A dentist doesn't do brain surgery or vica versa 🤔, otherwise the procedure outcome is unpredictable at best ,tragic at worst . Any questions how may we help?
