My second X3

[Filo22]

Hi all, just swapped my X3 2.0d SE for an X3 2.5l si se, I've gone back to perol after many years being a diesel owner, too many issues with diesels now with dpf blocking causing all sorts of problems, injector replacement, turbo replacement, throttle body replacement, etc. So lets see how I get on with the petrol engine, gone from 150bhp (185bhp after a remap) to 215bhp

Hi David...welcome to the Club

Probably a wise decision to move to petrol engine but I suppose it depends sometimes on your personal use...e.g. motorway or town driving.

Otherwise, as you say there are all the issues with DPF and other emissions related systems.

Good to have you onboard

Cheers,  Trevor

To be honest, I probably did n't do enough Motorway miles in the diesel and thats what probably caused the dpf and other related issues, I did like the car though, and thats why I stuck with the X3. Luckily I found a car with much higher spec. The new car had spent it's life on the South coast, but looking at the service book it's pre delivery inspection was done 2 miles from where I live 😀😀😀

That's amazing the way some cars actually find their way home
