BMW M57 TURBOCHARGER REPLACEMENT! 

Here’s the video of the old turbo: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Xm0oN2tACss.html

That’s the N57 engine

@@GeorgeAusters ahh right. Thought its the same lol thanks george

I think you meant that the turbos are on the right side of the engine 😊 Anyway the N57 has the timing chain in the rear of the engine. Otherwise the N57 is easier to work on than the M57.

Cheers Richard!

Certainly was!

SUVs are not for the city anyway!

Thanks Mark!

Definitely not easy to work in.. There’s no space for anything with it being an AWD!

Thanks Derek, happy new year to you too!

Appreciate it.. Yeah unfortunately there is not much I can do when working outside in the dark.. I am planning on building a garage: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xKzLdvCD_l0.html

Happy new year to you too Henk!

Yeah I just leave them in order

Did you use my discount?

I did mine in the freezing cold in January so I’m sure you can do it😅

​@@GeorgeAusters I will give it a go as it's getting on my nerves blowing and making the inside of the engine bay black with carbon. Would you advise getting a new rocker cover gasket and inlet manifold seals

Thanks 👍

Yeah it’s why I need a garage to work in.. It’s never going to be light working outside at midnight unfortunately

The 35D is twin turbo👍🏻

I agree

Yes that’s right, needs a lot of force to push it on which it’s hard to do as there is no room in the X5 engine bay😅

Thank you very much!

Biggest problem will be that removing DPF means the vehicle is no longer compliant with Construction and Use Regulations. Which makes it illegal to use on the road. Being able to pass an MOT is irrelevant

@@bigjml Thanks George but how can you say that not passing an MOT is irrelevant.... if it doesn't pass the MOT then you can't use it which is pretty relevant to most people! I've been told that examiners are now beginning to look for signs of DPF removal and failing modified cars whether they pass the emissions test or not.

@@neiled44 The reason I say that is some DPF removers justify their position because they gut the filter and refit it and get it through an MOT because either the Tester is incompetent or they have welded it up in a place the Tester can’t see during a Test. Thats why an MOT is irrelevant, also because a diesel only has to pass a smoke test, and yes, DPF vehicles do produce some smoke when revved hard when they have some miles on them. Construction & Use Regulations are what your car NEEDS to comply with to be used on the road. Go and ask a Traffic Copper about it, or look it up. A visual inspection by an MOT Tester is just that, a visual inspection that the DPF is fitted If you have a DPF gutted/removed you can’t legally sell it without declaring it. The vehicle is uninsurable. Phone up your Insurer and ask them if they will Insure a car that isn’t Compliant with Construction & Use Regulations. This is an interesting channel but it was disappointing to see a DPF removal being performed. Would have been better to sort the issue with the EGR and DPF to retain the cars value. Though since the Turbo failed soon after it’s probably the issues with the DPF we’re caused by the soon to fail Turbo. DPF problems are either a problem with the sensors or an engine problem causing the DPF to clog up. Something that would have been obvious in a non DPF diesel as it would have been smoking from the exhaust

@@bigjml Thanks again for your reply but I fully understand the legalities of the law regarding DPF removal/gutting. I've only owned my X5 E70 30sd for a few months and my concerns are over the prevalence of videos and discussions on RU-vid, Facebook and forums suggesting EGR & DPF removal /gutting rather than offering help and advise on overcoming the DPF issues by getting the engine to run right in the first place starting with a regimented preventative maintenance schedule ie. regular servicing to begin with.

No it doesn’t require it, I’m getting it mapped because of the EGR and DPF delete

@@GeorgeAusters Ohhh understood now, so the reason you were driving the car slowly is not because of the Turbo but EGR Delete not yet mapped?

@@Xpress_Graphix No it's because the boost hose had popped off

Have you primed the fuel pump a good few times?

Yeah, I'm sure I have. But tell me the process just incase I've missed something. I tried ignition on and off a few times and then started it for maybe 10 seconds, turned it off and did that 3 or 4 times before going for it properly

@@husaynmusic5551 Just need to to the ignition on about 10 times for 5 seconds or so and then fire it up

Thank so much for getting back to me so quick George. I'll charge the battery and give that a go, hopefully I get it started. If that fails, I was thinking of taking the intake manifold back off and bleeding each high pressure line whilst turning the engine. There must be a lot of air in the system. I ended up buying a turbo from Vehiclo in the end. I took my original turbo to be reconditioned but it was too fatmr gone. So my cars been stood for maybe 3 weeks 😪

Did you get a discount by mentioning me?

No I don’t, you’d know straight away as soon as you fire the engine up if a nut or bolt had fallen into the engine

In the description, message them and let them know you came from my video for a discount👍🏻

I looked on the website and it looks like an exchange basis and also you have to pay a £150 deposit which they return when they have the old unit. Not ideal. Cheaper places in the uk

Who told you that?

The guy I bought the turbo from! The actuator makes a clicking noise when I shut the engine off.

Hard to say because I was recording etc

Try a different extension👍🏻

Sorted! 😁👌🏻 I'm going to take the dpf off too so I can 'clean' it. Should I bring it through the top now the turbo and manifold is out or from underneath?

What? lol

Oh those fockin turbo pipes. I hate them! Just screw them on ;)

As mentioned in the clip, the boost pipe had popped off so had to keep the revs low👍🏻

@@GeorgeAusters i drove 2 h without that pipe. Nothing happened. Well there is no turbo but its ok to drive at tractor speed ;)

@GeorgeAusters it happened to me. also, as for increased emissions - just change - by new gas cap. it worked on mine bmw 525d. 😁

Cheers Steve!

Probably!

Slightly different as you have 2 turbos

@@GeorgeAusters noted - thanks bud for replying.
