320i N46 oilconsumption

Reneholstebro · 02-23-2020, 09:30 AM

My car uses approximately 1l oil every 1-2000 km.
I have no leaks and I measured 14bar pressure on all cylinders one was between 13-14bar
Where do I look now?

The N46 is known for burning (a lot) of oil because of bad oil scrapers and/or valve stem seals.

Let the engine idle for 5 minutes and step mildly hard on the gas (in neutral). The usual sign of the problems mentioned above is a large cloud of blue-ish smoke out of the exhaust.

(I had the same problem)
