Intermittent Turbo Issue

Hi All, New here and hoping to find some advice.

I have a 3.0dse X5 2007 with an intermittent turbo problem. Basically, most of the time everything works fine and then for some reason every now and again the turbo will just stop kicking in. When this happens if the engine is turned off it seems to re-set and then work fine for a while. There doesn't seem to be any pattern as to when it stops. I have taken it to a garage and been told that it needs a new turbo. This does seem a little extreme, as to me it seems as though there must be a sensor issue of some kind. I know there are lots of posts about turbo issues but can't seem to find anything the same. If anyone has any advice or can tag me in the relevant post it would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers

      BMW M4 seats / Can they be installed in a 1 series

      Morning Kieran Welcome to the Forum This is a new problem, I would start with the power supply where have you taken it from ? If you haven't already I would check a wiring diagram for both models to see where the power was arranged in the M4 and check whether that supply is available in the 140 model. Then check www.realoem.com to see if there are repair/replacement looms available. Your description sounds like a relay is tripping in the power feed Good luck with finding the issue let us know how yoy get on Dave

      Engine management lights intermittent faults problem

      Morning ! firstly, check the battery. amazing what a dead cell or discharging battery will do. the fact that they sometimes go away while driving could be that the battery gets enough charge from the alternator that journey, but loses charge next time you fire it up.

      Engine management lights intermittent faults problem

      Our BMW 220d xtrail 2014 is lighting up like a Christmas tree on every journey with various faults pinging on screen. We have been to the local garage numerous times but there are no faults. Sometimes the faults disappear during the journey on their own or vanish when you turn the engine off then on again. Same 3 faults each time as well. Before we take it into a dealership we thought it would be useful to ask if anyone else has had similar problems & what it was. On screen it comes up with the following faults:- 1) Front end collision warning restricted 2) Parking brake only partially working 3) Driving stabilisation fault Fingers crossed.
