Great video as usual, just out of curiosity why these upstream pipes are getting blocked. Bad design or certain driving habits causing this issue. Thanks
I’ve always took glow plugs out with a 1/4 mini breaker bar. On the iveco n Mitsubishi 3.0 engines they seize up really well, so lots of wd40, literally loosening 1/4 turn and then tightening and then loosening until it comes out. Last thing I want is a broken glow plug on the side of the engine haha
Is the BMW X1 2.0D (F48) a similar layout to this engine, just bigger capacity? Having error code saying mass air flow, and wondering if this stupid pipe blocked on mine.
Great ideo AGAIN - who makes this engine - Ive only ever seen the 1.6 diesel (peugeot) ones - when you said 1.5 Diesel & the faults I thought Renault - but they are 4 cylinder (clio) etc Thanks for posting videos - 👍👍
Had the misfortune of dealing with one of these today, stupid design, touch the breather pipe and it turns to dust 😂 Unfortunately the sensor was also dead. Have you tried cleaning the pipes on these the same way as the renault engines?

Maybe due to bad maintenance. To long oil change intervals?
oil in the pipe and the heat cooks the oil=carbon.
