I have a 99' 528i. That recently the engine died on. All 4 cylinders are filled with Oil. The Shop indicates that I need a new motor in it, I was wondering if these are good quotes for a normal replacement: |

I was driving to work like normal, Everything was going great then all of the sudden I lost all power to the engine. The Car still had Electric power, just nothing from the engine. I pulled over and there was ALOT of smoke rolling from the Exhaust in the rear. I also noticed that Oil (or what looked ALOT like it) was dripping slowly from the exhaust also. I tried to crank it over after abit and nothing happened at all. When it did happen the Emissions, Oil and one other light I cant think of came on, on the dash. |
Does your 528 use hydraulic fluid pump
to assist with power steering *and*
power brakes?
My old 1980's vintage 320i uses pneumatic power
brake assist taken from the intake manifold.
I am familiar with a case involving
my cousin's 1990's vintage Bronco II
of a defective pollution control
valve (PCV) or other check
valve that somehow allowed
oil or power steering fluid to get
injected into the intake manifold...
I'm doing this from memory, but it
seems like I remember the fluid involved was
from the power steering/braking system?
Apparently the braking system on that
vehicle relied on some combination of manifold
pressure (vacuum) and pressurized
fluid to actuate the brakes. Failure
of some valve allowed fluid
to get mixed with intake air in his
engine.
The Bronco II had German made
fuel injected Ford engines in them.
I remember when it happened, but
I don't remember all the the details.
I just remember he said plumes of
white smoke started billowing
out his exhaust. When it happened,
he thought he had a blown an engine.
My cousin is a Ford mechanic. I
should ask him about the experience
again. He made the simple repair
of the valve himself.

No noises that I heard. And the engine didn't turn over at all afterwards or even sound like an attempt to turn over. -Branden |

Could be blown head gasket (cheap, but there is usually an expensive underlying cause), warped head or a crack. Were there any chuffing noises before it stopped? Did the engine still turn on the starter? |
