Exclamation Official 3.0 Diesel Engine Issues & Comments Thread

Hi
I posted a thread yesterday regarding a suggestion to open a sub section on x5 world for the 3.0D engine which we have in Europe.

Unfortunately we do get issues with this engine, sometimes posts by Diesel owners can be repetetive and can not get the required 3.0D help from the guys over in the states.

Within a short time of posting this idea, it had been moved to another section (suggestions -new ideas) and has had one reply (granted a positive one!).

My point is, most people only check the main forum on E53's and would not notice the moved thread.

Can a person who has the ability to move threads either move it back so it can be discussed and possibly be acted on, or pm me with the best way forward on creating a 3.0D forum within x5 world.

Thanks in advance.

I have raised the issue with the other moderators/admins of X5world.

My personal opinion is that we would then have to consider addressing each engine specifically, not just the diesel. While I sympathize with your situation I think that diligent use of the search function and original posts with clear post titles effectively provide those with 3.0d issues access to previous posts. I have been seeing more old posts being resurrected lately which tells me that the search function is working to help find previous posts on same topics.

Perhaps a compiled list of known or common 3.0d engine issues and solutions could be created and posted on the X5world homepage as an article for permanent reference. Hint, hint. :

Question can moderators help with this possible solution?

Can anyone shed some light on how we can have the threads for 3.0D vehicles (regarding engine issues, tips and advice) at one easy reference point?

Here's a good example of how to promote a specific subject.
http://www.x5world.com/lounge/43455-...ighlight=pinoy

Just name it "The official Diesel thread"

If there's enough interest it may survive on it's own.

Any European, asian, eastern interest in a thread '3.0D issues and comments' to be posted as a thread that we can all refer to re this engine, not available in the USA.

Any comments would be welcome.

I have changed the thread title to the "Official 3.0 Diesel Engine Issues & Comments Thread". Hopefully it will become a vibrant thread and offer help to you lucky enough to have the 3.0d engine option.

thto: I turned this thread into the official one so that your original post shows the history of this thread.
