E39 530d engine mounts needed.
So by the sounds of things I'm gonna go genuine as don't intend on changing them anytime soon. Not a massive jump between lemforder an genuine. Here is some of today's prices so far.
Local motor factor. €98
Kyb & lemforder € 190
Joe duffys €250
Haven't contacted cab yet so we'll see how I get on there.
I changed all engine vacuum hoses as had 0 boost when the car arrived to me, thankfully boost is back along with better mpg's an no nasty smoke from exhaust anymore. But it seems as if the power is still a little low on the lower rpm's. I didn't replace the engine mount vacuum pipes, could this be the cause or a separate system?

have you checked that the actuator on the turbo is freely moving?

Yes all seems fine there. Getting a bit on the black smokey side again. Maf is fine, removed egr. No swirl flaps an gave it a service. Feel like I'm missing something simple an over looking it.

Could be a boost leak or injectors, have you checked the correction values on the injectors?

Correction values would be a little beyond my abilitys to be honest, when I bought the car I removed all boost piping an intercooler for a through cleaning as was full of oil. I didn't remove inlet manifold so I imagine it's full of oil still. Would a terra clean be able or a waste of money perhaps.

In that case I would remove the intake and clean out the ports, it doesn't have to be spotless, you just need to remove the build up that's reducing the diameter of the ports

Only hesitated doing it as heard of the seals falling in when lifting manifold out. Not sure if this would be common or just an unlucky few.

I've removed my manifold half a dozen times and never had seals loose enough to fall, they gripped by a seat in the manifold so unless you're ham-fisted, you should be fine

I bought a febi mount for my 530d because I was broke. It is absolute shite. Much noisier at idle.
