It almost sounds to me like your EGR valve is full of carbon and not able to open properly so your engine is running rich.

SOURCE: mercedes E300 turbodiesel, 1999, is poor to start

Yes sir , you have a failing valve, soon it will snap in two....please have your head checked. You can do this yourself by placing a long-handed screwdriver , business end down to each cylinder while pressing your ear to the handle(while engine is running)...you will notice a definite difference when you hit which cylinder has the bad valve. Also makes sure the egr valve is clean and your exhaust recycle valve is not stuck.( located in the crossover pipe)

SOURCE: bmw n42 oil pump

the m42 oil pump is located inside the timing chain cover and is an integral part of the casing so it is neccessary to remove the water pump + viscous fan etc to expose the pump front cover then remove 4 machine screws to examine the pump rotors underneath.

Ford diesel excusion A/C won't cool

Any performance testing re auto A/C requires consistant engine revs highway revs eg 1800 exit ramp eg idle stop start 800revs leading to much reduced A/C compressor speed and therefore performance output .Also all testing its desirable to close the bonnet to control design air flow through the engine bay .Also check under dash passenger side air flow pos a filter on return air duct or something sucked up into paper etc .good luck!

Bmw z3 2001 1.9 m43 engine, severe misfire at idle and through the rev range, stays the same, starting ok hot or cold, car in zimbabwe poor fuel quality but running ok before, gets infrequent use, replaced...

Make sure you dont run out of fuel, make sure 1/4 tank of gas is always there and the reason is that the fuel pump should be submerged in the gas all the time, if not then it will heat up and die.
It would also be good practic to change the fuel filter once a year, if there is no external filter then ad one in line filter for your safety.
As for the mis at idle it could be due to bent valve, burnt valve seat, vacume leak, head gasket minor leak, bad coil, shorted plug, bad gas. If the engine light is on which it should have because of the missing then I would like to know the codes.

My 2002 BMW 325I will not start in cold weather. I took it to the BMW dealer and they've replaced the fuel pump....still has not fixed the problem and I'm returning it to them tomorrow. I read that it...

hi Fred, kind of sounds like you have a sticking, or contaminted idle valve. when it is 40-45F outside, a sticking or contaminated valve will cause the fuel mixture to be to rich. as the temp warms, the mixture requirement is not as rich. a quick check is to hold the gas pedal to the floor for 5-10 seconds when cranking cold and then let up. if it seems like it wants to start, the valve is faulty.

Bmw 320i touring 1995 n reg

check and see if you get water/coolant circulates when you have the cap off (only check from cold start) the original water pump came with a plastic impeller and tends to strip on the shaft also check your thermostat before replacing water pump.
