Hey everyone recently just bought a bmw 120d about 2 months ago. Had the clutch replaced as it needed doing and Just a few days ago I have had the Turbo go on me! I’ve had a quote from the garage for about £1200. After just having the clutch done I did not expect to have to fork out another £1200 this soon. Is this something I could do myself as I don’t mind doing so. Has anyone done it? If so any guidence would be great! Thanks for any help in advance

Morning Scott

Welcome to the Forum

Ouch, not a good start to BMW ownership

Firstly are you certain it is the turbo? Boost pressure can be affected by several things. Who diagnosed the Turbo? I would get the codes read by some one with a BMW Specific diagnostic suite. Maybe a member near you or a BMW specialist near you.You could even buy one yourself and not horrendously expensive around £150 tops there are many out there.

As for DIY a Turbo replacement (if that is what it is) is well within a reasonable Home mechanics capability. Turbo's are available these days at sensible prices £200 upwards just remember to factor in Fluids and Gaskets that may not be with the cheaper options.

Take a look at www.newtis.info This is a BMW Technical Information site that BMW Dealers use for service/replacement and repair Then to ensure you have the correct parts use www.realoem.com This is a BMW online Parts Site put the last 7 digits of your Vin into the search box it will bring up your model then search for the part.

Good Luck

Dave

      3.0i starter motor

      I stand corrected…. It wasn’t the starter. I could hear it clicking so checked the battery, amps were about 10… new battery and fired straight up…. So much for Halfords and yuasa battery testing! ….now to the next issue…

      X3 2.0 automatic

      hi , I had very similar problem a while back, and after a lot of testing with vista, it turned out to be a front R/H wheel , speed/wheel sensor. when it all was happing lots of codes were coming up gearbox, diff front and back, transever box,plus many more, didn't look good, but there was one code that repeatedly came up at the top of the list, at this point it was becoming undriveable ,it just didn't seem that a wheel sensor could cause all these codes. So I went got two wheel speed sensor, replaced driver side front, the problem never came back, the sensor controls so many systems ,cleared all codes, happy days, I could have pulled the car apart for nothing, and got nowhere, except an empty wallet. hope this helps you or someone.
