The past is present (or is it future).
I am just now replacing my trusty 2003 TDI with an 35d E70 and remember closely following this thread at Fred's TDIclub.com. My ultimate cure for oil in the inter-cooler was to run and monitor oil level at minimum spec - about 150,000 miles ago. Another thing we did in the area was to minimize the EGR duty cycle in ECU software. I replaced the TDI intake manifold at ~80k miles due to coking. My guru mechanic kept a stock of salvaged and clean IM and swapped it in less than an hour.

This is fascinating stuff guys. I just bought an e70 x5 and I'm reading up on the coke/ tar issues.

Split71 - I would say my 35d does not use an unusual amount of oil. I'm usually down about a quart when an oil change is due. For me, that's been about a quart every 10-12,000 miles. So (just as for ZetaTre) the reason to think about doing this is not because of oil usage, but because of trying to limit carbon build up.
Dalecan - ZetaTre originally made a series of posts over on bimmerfest. As you will see, he uses the ID of lpcapital over there. His first post (the link is here) is titled "Rather simple idea to reduce oil passing through crankcase?" Then a few months later he made a second post (the link is here) that is titled "Improving on a "Rather simple idea (aka Version 2.0)." He summarized those two posts into the beginning of this post. Though the post here covers the highlights, it is very interesting to read the original posts and see how things evolved over time, with obviously a lot of thought and effort going into it.

Great job budd!!!!
I REALLY like the hose you're using. I'm currently using some rubber coolant hoses but I may end up replacing them with what you bought. Let me know if they are working out fine! Also, did you do the draining back through the oil dipstick? It can be a PITA to get the lower bolt... Congrats!!! |

One thing worth mentioning: the reason why I actually removed the sound proofing material is because it collects and soaks up with water. This causes corrosion around injector #5. To one person corroded the electrical terminal, to me it was starting to corrode the fuel line. Water gets there primarily because the engine partition breaks and drips down between the airbox and the rear plastic cowl.
The center piece of the partition now sold by BMW is made of plastic and it's much more sturdy than the cardboard like material... You can read a lot more about it here: Error code 4B99 and 483D - Bimmerfest - BMW Forums |
