A house move meant that work to understand and diagnose the problem with my BMW 320D diesel was put on hold despite the symptoms getting worse! Just to recap it has been an erratic fault resulting in the dashboard light being illuminated and an error code of P3263.
The symptoms are intermittent loss of power. Noticeable but not total and some smoke at times under acceleration. The car will respond after a small delay by applying more accelerator but obviously this results in worse fuel consumption. The other noticeable side effect is diesel 'clatter' during periods when the power drops.
