E60 530d engine judder, rough idle, misfire?

MAF ok, fuel ok. Any guesses before it goes on a diagnostic?

Hi mate, did you find out the cause ? Trying to repair one at present and it has a similar sound on idle (although not as bad as this car yet). Haven't did much work on BM's before but I would have thought injector or maybe even the crankshaft pulley/vibration damper ? Be interested to know how you got on.

+Beemer Lab Just seen your blog, absolutely fantastic work. As someone who is due to remove his swirl flaps, I couldn't be more motivated right now. Glad you got yours sorted and thanks for the info/blog mate.

Seriously, mine has been off the road since this vid was upped, save for a 2 week period when it was running great on the damaged pistons, but leaking oil everywhere and it turned out to be pressuised crankcase from the bad piston, luckily I only have one to replace, but the engine needs lifting and the subframe dropping, it is soul destroying. Check out my blog, I have written a lot about this particular problem - //beemerlab.blogspot.com

Oh mate, well since you ask it's 99% definately going to be a swirl-flap has fallen right into the combustion chamber. Run for your life. Swap the engine. Or do what I did, rebuild the engine with a new cyl.-head and other bits for about £600, then realise the pistons are bad rebuild the engine a 2nd time putting in new pistons. Im halfway through rebuild number 2. Good luck.

MK4 Golf 1.4s loss of power and judders. The engine also missfires. Found this spark though which I think is the problem...

running on 3 cylinders instead of 4. push the HT lead back into the hole and it should be fine.

Do all the warning lights come on at the same time that the rpm's bounce? What codes are stored in the ABS & ECM modules? The steering wheel icon is probably related with the ABS... but can't be sure without knowing the fault codes.

not to mention the whole time while its doing this, it's just blowing black smoke like crazy

all the lights come on when you first start the vehicle, and stay on

Does the car do that when you shove the clutch ? Mines doing the same thing have you figured it out?

Yes, it's the "Quantity Adjuster". Now I have another problem, the check engine light won't come on which means the car won't start. This could be due several things. VWs are a pain. Next time I will buy a different brand.
