I had my car in recently to Jason for an oil service and he discovered dripping oil from the rocker gasket. It was a small oil drip which had gone down the side of the engine and then gathered in the plastic cover under the engine, so I did'nt notice.

It could've been left as the oil level did'nt fall, but I'm a firm believer in getting work done sooner rather than later. As the gasket was getting done I decided to get the swirl flaps replaced with blanking plates. Although swirl flap failure is pretty rare on E90's, mine were full of oily gunk, so more a preventative measure:(

All done in a day and the car feels a little more responsive which can't be bad.
Thx to Jason and the team there.:D

I didn't even realise he could do the swirl flap delete! That's very good to know :)

An essential mod for anyone who pushes their turbodiesel very hard day in day out, imho.

We also changed the swirl flaps on this as they where worn and leaking oil from them
