I am getting the following issue for my turbo. Totally my turbo is not working.

I am the 2nd owner and the current milage i took over from 90k and now under me, it is 175k.

My mech says it highly likely is a turbo charger issue with the internal valve being stuck. Any one encounter this issue?

Hi Murphy

Welcome to the Forum

While Diagnostics are an immense help they only tell part of the story I would delete all codes then run the Diagnostic again to see what comes back.

At 175k (you don't say what the service history is) I would not be surprised if the turbo and turbo actuator were getting really tired. A rebuilt Turbo and actuator plus either a thorough clean of the EGR system would work wonders I should think. Sensors can be tested and or replaced if needed

If your not a fan of DIY then you need a conversation with your Mechanic to work out the most economical route

Good Luck

Hi Daven, 

Test for the warm welcome. I be always doing service according to the bmw specs. 

I have deleted all the codes and go for test drive with my mech, the turbo was not kicking in and even at P position, revving the engine, the turbo just do not kick in. 

Of cos they would recommend what to do, but I am jus praying hard that it could just be the Actuator issue. 

Morning Murphy

If the Turbo is spinning up with no noise vibration or smoke, no oil leaks changing out the actuator may work

Good Luck

Thanks all. found the problem. my turbo charger jam. the vanes were covered with carbon. replace with recon turbo charger.

Great that its sorted
