- This BMW 320 d was repeatedly going into limp mode and cutting power to the engine.
The main trouble codes all pointed towards the turbo actuator and the EGR valve however after running a few tests we quickly discovered the actuator arm on the turbo was seized pointing towards clogged veins and turbo housing

big thanks to you, mate. I was getting crazy about my e90 lacking boost. Frankly I was thinking exactly on this issue, but you have confirmed my thoughts about that. Ur a legend friendo
@@antoniomartingarcia6229 no problem at all bud, really happy I could help 👍👍
great walk thru fella, subscibed and looking forward to more bmw contentent, i have the e70 x5 35d msport, (and love it)
Thank you mate, much appreciated and I totally know what you mean about the love hate thing 🤣
Brilliant Video. Thank you!
No problem Geoff and thank you so much bud 👍
First thing I done when I got my n47 was disconnect the vacuum pipe from the EGR.
Great video. Cauld you tell me what symptoms led you to turbo actuator falut apart from the codes? Thanks!
Few things bud, mainly that the car never seemed to have any boost so I knew somehwhere along the lines the turbo wasn’t engaging properly when it was supposed to and then a visual inspection of the actuator trying to move the vein arm and not being able to due to it being seized up and quite often I could hear the actuator trying to move it for a minute or 2 after the car was turned off, this whole issue also ended up causing the egr controller to go aswell because it was constantly receiving incorrect readings etc
@@custombodyrepair thanks for the reply. It looks like I have the same issue. Should I be able to move the actuator arm while the engine is not running?
@@MrBaffango if you disconnect the actuator then the arm should move without any major resistance yeah, if it doesn’t then like in mine either the arm is seized up or the inside of the turbo is jammed up with carbon deposits 👍
@@MrBaffango if it won’t move freely with the actuator disconnected then use a spanner or similar and get it moving back and forth and suddenly you’ll have boost again and that will confirm the issue but it will only last a matter of days, if the arm moves freely then it’s likely to be that the actuator itself has blown
@@custombodyrepair thank you!
Absolutely brilliant mate
I’ve reckon I got the same problem and thinking about doing this, do you know what codes u had and what symptoms you had, I definitely know my actuator arm is stuck like yours was.
Cheers
Most of the codes came back to boost pressure actuator, I think on my snap on diag it was 483c and there were a few pointing back to egr controller position from the incorrect turbo readings mate and the car kept cutting engine power and throwing up the half coloured in engine management light in the little centre screen on the dash, mines totally sorted now from doing this and driving lovely 👍 anymore help you need with this mate just drop a comment here and I’ll help where I can
@@custombodyrepair that’s the exact problem I have and also that exact code, all of a sudden I’ve got plans for tomorrow at 6 in the morning, cheers u really helped out here!
