BMW N47 Turbo REPLACEMENT - The E93 320d Gets a New Turbo

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

Finally I recieved a replacement turbo and got he 320d working again (after a slight hicup with smoke from the oil that was dumped into the exhaust).
If your turbo has given up and the car was burning a lot of oil make sure to check the inlet and intercooler for oil. In my case it was all in the exhaust, and took a good 20-30 miles to fully burn off.
This process is pretty much the same for all N47 cars in the E81, E82, E87, E88 1-series (118d, 120d & 123d), E90, E91, E92, E93 3-series (318d & 320d), E60, E61 5-series (520d), E84 X1 (18d & 20d) and the E83 X3 (20d).

    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).

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.

    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
