bmw 330d fuel injection problems

[Keith Mack]

I have a 2005 BMW330d Touring 53k and I recently took it into a dealer as I had a problem starting the vehicle.
Their diagnostic check reported that piston 5 ijector needed replacing which was done.
However with only 200km from when the repair was done this problem got worse and car had to be towed back to dealer.
Today I was informed that the other 5 injectors all need replacing (which when tested were fine)
Has anyone had any experiece of a similar issue.

I had a misfire on my 330d e46 about 20k miles ago. Lumpy when cold, ok when warm. Took it to my favoured independant who ran a few tests and said injectors 2 and 3 were on their way out.
£500 all in for the job. £180 each for injectors and about three hours labour +VAT. He cleaned out my swirl flaps at the same time and ran a clean-burn emissions test afterwards and I've had 20k of happy miles since. Cured in one afternoon.

Your story sounds a little like they have mis-diagnosed you, wasted your time and *IF* you need the other five injectors doing (and how are you to trust them?) you are looking at another ~£1100 for parts.

I would take it to a garage you can trust. Search PH for "independant bmw in xxxx" (your town)

Sorry.
