N47 Actuator arm exhaust fumes leak

Hi all,

 

It's my first post. Thanka for having me.

 

I have an exhaust leak which is entering the cabin when stationary and at low speeds.

 

This lead to the soapy water test and have found 2 leaks. 1 from the EGR/ Manifold connection. And 1 from the Turbo actuator arm. 

 

I am happy with how to sort the EGR issue, either a delete or a replacement gasket will be suffice. However has anyone any advice for the Actuator arm. Can this be sorted without removing turbo? Does the turbo need replaced completely or can it be refurbished. Finally is it something that can be done at home?

 

Regards

    Welcome to the Forum

    The turbo actuator arm leak is a new one for me (everyday is a school day) great detective work to find both leaks 

    I have actually seen two 2.0d with EGR gaskets missing completley so a good clean and new gaskets should sort that. The actuator arm one ? As BMW dont make Turbo's there are several Turbo specialists out there who should be able to help with advice or a refurbished Turbo

    Good Luck
