Patagil Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Upon starting the vehicle, a notification indicating a power breakdown on the roadside was received. Started and stopped the vehicle, and the message disappeared. After driving for 1 mile, I noticed a strong burning smell coming from the engine, so I decided to return home. I had already detected the same odour earlier in the day, but I attributed it to the recent construction of the new driveway on the street. I have seen a little fracture on an object, which is evident from the accompanying photographs.If anybody is able to provide assistance, it would be much appreciated. The vehicle is a 5 series with a 68 plate, specifically a 520d model with 38,000 kilometres on the odometer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadlinesQuick Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 That is the turbo, however I am unable to locate the fracture you mentioned. Scan it to determine the cause of the message's appearance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patagil Posted May 16 Author Share Posted May 16 Unfortunately, I am unable to scan the power failure notification since it is no longer displayed. I have marked the fracture or hole with a circle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadlinesQuick Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Even if the message is no longer present, a code will still be recorded. The irregularity you are seeing is not a fracture or hole, but rather the intentional design of the heat shield. This is a routine occurrence and does not warrant any worry.

Patagil Posted May 16 Author Share Posted May 16 Thank you for your assistance. Bringing it to the dealership. After owning it for just 65 days, I need to investigate the cause of the engine emitting smoke and the occurrence of power failure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleverPixel Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 Please inform us of their response. If you plan on keeping the automobile for a long time, it might be wise to invest in a fault code reader. This device will quickly prove its worth by saving you money on dealer fees for scanning the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patagil Posted May 16 Author Share Posted May 16 Yes, I own a rudimentary code reader that can only interpret codes when they are visibly displayed, assuming that comprehension is clear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxck Posted May 16 Share Posted May 16 I suspect that the input manifold is partly obstructed due to an accumulation of oil and soot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
