My EGR was also stuck (I get a warning in my car saying "GRUPO PROPULSOR" which I don't know the translation to English) and they cleaned it. After 2k KM, I had to add oil again and the warning about "GRUPO PROPULSOR" which is usually related to the EGR is turned on again This time I didn't care, since I need the car for my business and haven't tried to fix it yet. After 2.5k KM with the light on and adding new oil, I checked today the oil level and it says full??? I'm deeply confused by this. I'll check in some hours what errors my car is throwing to see what that light is about. |

Hi, did you find the issue? I also have 318d se F30 auto 2013 year
In my case I found the oil level would run low faster when I run it in sports mode. But when I run in eco or normal mode it seems to last much longer before I need to top up. Usually close the oil change service interval Like you I can’t see any leaks and I also had dpf issues but don’t think it’s related to oil consumption. Would be interested to know if you found your issue Thanks |

Also i did try an oil catch can for 300 kms, but didn't catch really nothing, so i put the breather tube again back to its place. After 1300km from last oil change, the level maintains (so far). I need to wait for more kms. But i did get into the conclusion that the intercooler pipe (before intake) its a little moisturised with a fine coat of oil when i travel for long distance on highway. In the city, the pipe dries completelly again. So, i think i have a small turbo leak, but don't know if it is normal or if it is sufficient to drink 1L/3000km. I also suspect that the clogged DPF increased the inner pressure and blowed oil from the turbo seals into the intake (or the exhaust too). I don't know if now (after DPF off), the pressure releases and the oil seal are back to their normal function. So, let's wait to do some more kms and draw a conclusion (maybe).

Small update:
Slight improvement but the oil comsumption issue remains (1L after 4000km of last oil change). I did compare my intercooler pipe with some identical of my friend's car, and checked that the fine coat of oil is also on his pipe, but he has no oil comsumption. So, i abandoned the turbo option. The main diference between my engine and my freid's is the vapour/smoke that comes out from the oil cup. So..... it will be the damned piston rings!? Well, next time i will try a last resort and replace the oil with 5w40 LL4, instead of 5w30, and see if there's some improvement. |

You can perform a rudimentary check for blow by : With the engine running at idle rpm, unscrew the oil filler cap but leave it in position. Normal = the cap will vibrate due to the engine running but the cap won't 'blow off' the rocker cover. Abnormal = vapour/smoke 'puffing' from the oil filler dislodges the filler cap causing it to not stay in position 'in' the filler hole.

I agree with Watsey as ALL diesels in my household, N47 328d, N57 X5 35d, and CKRA TDI engine all have some blowby from the oil filler hole and emanate vapor when engine is hot especially if you point a flashlight (or torch for those of you on the other side of lake). And it has done all of that since new with zero to negligible oil consumption on all 3 vehicles. But I agree, the blowby is strong but not strong enough to blow the unscrewed cap off that was left in place.

Beware beware
All of you reading this. Problems are with the bmw f30 316d and 318d models. This model has a problem with the piston rings. Good mechanics know about this mistake. The 320d doesn't have these issues Just changing the chain and piston rings on my 318d |

Yeah that is a quite likely if the oil isn't changed regularly and the piston rings are no longer rotating in the bores because they are stuck with carbon. I would also check the cylinder walls for scoring if that's the case. Rings that don't rotate can leave gouging marks in the cylinders.
FWIW, I change my oil every 3-4000 miles. Crazy I know but the amount of soot that gets into the oil is also crazy. It's very cheap insurance. The blow by vapour reduced significantly when I switched from the dealer 0W30 Shell Helix stuff to 5W40 Fuchs GT1 Flex 3 LL-04. |
