Once my turbo axle got broken so the turbo centre part blew up, and tond of oil got into the exhaust. We have replaced the turbo and started.. Man I know what you mean... my village disappeared - even police came out. It was indeed a nightmare.
@@NeilsCarsAviationTravel yeah absolutely! It burns out after like 20 mins but until then.. I mean there is a good reason why the navy is using this technique as camouflage with tanks. Also in the disco the smoke is basically burned or if you wish : evaporated oil. It is only that it's not engineering oil there hahahaha
If you have a b46,48 engine, it can be done in less than an hour. I mean, not at the first time of the removal, but from the second time after knowing where and how to remove all the wires and hoses around it securely, it’s just a simplest turbo removing model by bmw
Nice one, I’ve a turbine core to fit to a 2011 X3 F25 N47 this Saturday. Hopefully go as smooth as yours did! (Change your serpentine belt before it snaps!) That car has obviously been neglected with a filter like that and is probably the reason the turbo has failed
Hi, let me know how you go, I have a core coming in a week or so, i can't see how he gets the 3rd bolt out of the Turbo to Exhaust Manifold out, I assume with an extension from the top, through the manifold. When you do the core make sure you scribe the old and new and don't let it get out of rotation ( I had an Audi that was supplied 5 degrees out when they overhauled it and it would not fit back on).
@@iangillott got mine done today, breeze of a job about 2 1/2 hours all in start to finish. My old core was absolutely shot around 5-6mm play in the shaft back and forth so did it just in time. The 3rd bolt is easy with a very long extension. the biggest pain is the oil feed and return pipes but other than that a doddle of a job. Car pulls infinitely better now definitely glad I did it.
Loved the video! Particula8as I might have to do this on my 20D X1. How did the missus like the turbo rinsing on the kitchen island??? 😂 Thanks for sharing! 🙏
is the green seal that is between the air intake hose and the turbo the same as the one between the intercooler pipe and the turbo? they look simular but maybe one is bigger
Great video something went bang in my e90 and now I have loss of power almost like it’s limp mode and my turbo is whistling and swooshing like crazy when accelerating anyone shed any light?
@@NeilsCarsAviationTravel yes I have a hole in my intercooler and also 2 boost leaks thank you for your reply I’ve ordered an upgraded intercooler and new boost pipes
Hi mate I have a similar issue where the turbo is chucking oil into the exhaust, I'm planning on changing the turbo some time next week I just wonder on how did you go around with the electronic actuator? the turbo I'm looking at buying doesn't come with one i would have to take my old one of and put it on the new one, i just wonder how hard that might be. many thanks
@@NeilsCarsAviationTravelall sorted now I’ve put the new turbo in and the car drives and boosts like a dream the only issue is the oil in the exhaust system which causes it to smoke like mad, I’m hoping it will burn off before my mot in 4 days 😬, thanks for a great video it helped me a lot 👍
Hi mate that short pipe that goes to the air box mine was also brittle and snapped where can I find one online I’m not sure what to call that part Many thanks Got my turbo off in an hour after watching your video 👌🏽
That’s excellent. Glad I could help. There should be a part number on it which you can search for on eBay. Is it the bit that goes into the air box (before the MAF) or is it the bit from the air box to turbo?
Thanks for the good video. Have a similar issue with my car and if you read on ista it always says that you should put oil in the turbo before putting it back ok the car and start the engine.. otherwise without oil.. while starting the engine those 2 seconds until it takes oil from the pan could damage again the turbo. My question would be how the hell do you put oil in the turbo manually 🤔
I heard this too ‘after’ I’d done the replacement, although because I had a 2nd hand turbo is still has some oil residue inside. If you get new/recon units they normally provide a sachet of lube I think to squeeze in. Best I can suggest is to either try putting some in with a pipet or turn the engine over with injector plugs off to get oil pressure.
Just pour some in prior to install, the main issue is to not spin it up dry, in 10 seconds or less the oil will flow so it's really only the first few seconds if the bearings are dry from new. @@NeilsCarsAviationTravel
No, there was nothing to suggest a turbo issue. Not even a boost related fault. Just lots of smoke around 3-4 mins after startup, no boost and lots of oil under the turbo.
@@NeilsCarsAviationTravel I see, mine throws an error intermittently (once every few months) so it's very hard to diagnose. Garage said it could be dpf or some sensor, impossible to tell because the fault goes away. The error reads "4932 air to EGR mass flow" and internet search suggests it could be anything including the turbo actuator. Getting a bid fed up with it and thinking about pxing it

garage quoted me 1900 euro parts + labour and i did it myself on an evening after work with a brand new turbo for 600 euro with this video, sound lad
Excellent. Glad it helped you and saved a lot of money. Nice one.
Fair play to ya bro, wish I had the skill,, I just about fitted a new blower into my old 335d and couldn’t fit in all the way correctly 🥴
Du hast es auf der e.y-Website oder bei einem bestimmten Unternehmen gekauft? Mit einem Controller oder nur dem Turbo?
Great to see her saved! Well done..looking forward to the next project
Thanks. All being well I’ll be collecting it tomorrow.

It’s not a bad job, just don’t tell your wife where you are cleaning the parts 😀
Really good video!
Well done 👏
Thanks. Hope it was helpful.
do i need to get the actuator coded when fitting new turbo or did you just do the swap and it was all fine?
I didn’t code anything. It all worked.
which way did you mount the gasket between the turbo and dpf? cant find any video that explains that.
I don’t recall a gasket. Is that the connection with the clamp that goes around? If so I don’t think there is a gasket.
is the green seal that is between the air intake hose and the turbo the same as the one between the intercooler pipe and the turbo? they look simular but maybe one is bigger
Good question. I can’t actually remember.
Great video something went bang in my e90 and now I have loss of power almost like it’s limp mode and my turbo is whistling and swooshing like crazy when accelerating anyone shed any light?
Do you have smoke? Sounds like maybe a boost pipe has popped off.
@@NeilsCarsAviationTravel yes I have a hole in my intercooler and also 2 boost leaks thank you for your reply I’ve ordered an upgraded intercooler and new boost pipes
E90 n47 is one of the easiest to change turbos on
Yep I agree. I reckon I could do one in an hour next time.

Not sure to he’s honest. I decided to buy a like for like so it’s a straight swap.
I’d imagine it’s only bolted on though.

Is it possible to do it in a same way with an biturbo n47 e81? Thanks
Without engine removal?
There maybe some other steps involved but it should be quite similar.

Did the oil clear from the dpf ok
It’s not smoking anymore. I have MOT retest tomorrow, then a 70 mile drive so have manually requested a DPF regen to ensure it’s cleaned out properly.
Did you have any fault codes because of the turbo?
No, there was nothing to suggest a turbo issue. Not even a boost related fault.
Just lots of smoke around 3-4 mins after startup, no boost and lots of oil under the turbo.

@@loagahoo1 ah a fair way away. I’d have taken a look if closer.
Change your serpentine belt, poor thing is screaming to be changed!
It was changed.
What size socket needed for turbo studs before I start
Do you mean the 3 splined ones that connect it to the manifold? I used a 12 sided socket, from memory 12 or 14mm I think.
If you had one of those oil hoses clugged an oil pressure alarm wouldve apperead on your dash
