Car in for service

BimmerRacer · 05-13-2013, 12:15 PM

No warning/service lights on
Strong soot smell through the vents and around the car. SA said "This stinks, i can't believe you didn't bring it in sooner!". I drove for about 100 miles after the initial symptoms, before I noticed the wistle sounds. I thought DPF was regenerating.
Wistling sound under throttle, not neccessarily WOT either.

Ideas?

BTW, car was in for service about 2 weeks prior for service engine soon light and they replaced an injector.

Doesn't this sound a bit like Ron1n's, albeit to a lesser degree?

Not sure? Link to thread?

I'm going to guess you have an exhaust leak somewhere... most likely pre dpf

im with Joe it might be the DPF(curse you CARB!!)

Yes. The smell was out of the vents correct? The 3 series is prone to them failing and the smell is terrible. Just trying to think out of the box

Not sure if you guys missed it but it was a crack in the #9 pipe. Exhaust back pressure was reading fault. Not sure why there were no codes thrown...
