Just when I was getting it ready for sale, the turbocharger on my daily driver has gone out to lunch! Time to figure out how to get a replacement in and get this thing on the auction block. Check it out!

The best video i had seen on n20 turbo removal
Thanks
Thanks, hope it helped 👍
Nice work!
Cheers Scott 👍
excellent DIY video!
Thanks!
Cam is officially out of hibernation!!
I'm like the Groundhog from that Bill Murray movie about the ground hog and does the same thing day after day - i think it was Caddyshack.
That was another great episode. . . not a Bemer guys, but very informative and well done! Looking forward to more great content on the Toyota RA's in the hopeful near future!
Thank you! You should have x1000 more subs. Keep up the good work.
Thanks, hope the vid helps!
Nice episode Cam. You really need to be a contortionist to replace some of these parts. I wonder how the dealership would have done this. Also, you saved yourself a bunch of money by DIY. That was very in-depth so thanks for doing that for us Cam. Keep going Cam!
Pretty sure I might be able to get a job at a circus as a contortionist, sorta like those bears on bikes.
Good to hear from you Bob - glad you're still watching - more 1st gen stuff coming soon.
thanks for sharing🤝
Thanks for watching!
Super informative and very well done. I was doing this over the weekend and was on the home stretch when I pulled the threads out of the block with the bolt that holds the turbo oil feed line where it comes off the block. Any suggestions for a fix?
Glad the video helps but that really sucks on the bolt hole in the block - it depends on your apetite for dodginess and how badly the threads were pulled. If its not too bad you could bodge with epoxy but your best bet would be to either tap a new bolt size in, or helicoil if you can't fit a bigger bolt.
That's really great know-how tips for beemers, my 328i GT xdrive(N20) has problem with the exhaust smell comes in to the cabin, I wanna try to test with smoke leak detector to find the point, Could you give me some tips to do it please..
Bit late to respond to this one but if you're getting a smell in the cabin you should either be able to hear a leak or look for any seals/grommets near the rear end - airflow when driving will pull fumes into the cabin if there's leaks
Great video, so much detail. Did you have any issues with the timing chain tensioner when you owned this? I read they can be an issue on the earlier N20's.
No issues at all, but I think you either have a catastrophic failure or you don't. I still have mine and touchwood it's still going strong.
Come rebuild my N20, hahahaha. I've got the head off. Fml... video has helped me with knowing about the turbo coolant line...
Oh no - timing chain break or something?
Hey ..how you install coolant line.. almost 1 day can't come in
Just a tricky one man, i tried to show it as best i could but its just a case of moving lines around carefully until they drop together. Hope you managed to get it sorted.
What was the mileage when you have this turbo problem? and What was the reason for seized turbo?
was 170,000 kms (~105,000 miles) - most reports i've heard is that's about the average lifespan as like everything BMW the tight bearing tolerances eventually catch up with it.
Hi, do you have any tips for removing the wastegate without removing the turbo? I cant get my T45 seated with my clearances on the x1.
Nothing ground breaking, just get as many knuckles, extensions and flexis as you can and try and build something up. Remove as much as you can around it too.
@@TheBuildRoom thanks, i think im going to have to remove the coolant reservoir today to get at it better. Car just hit 90k and probably past due for a flush anyways.
have 2014 328 with 90k km on it. How long do those turbos last before needing replacing?
I think they're all about the same. 150-200k. Changing oil regularly helps.
I have a 2018 530i drive with a bad turbo, is this the same procedure to replace it
Can i replace the turbo on a 2013 528i xdrive the same exact way?
Yeah should be a very similar process however you might find clearances a bit tighter on stuff because of the front driveshafts.
@@TheBuildRoom Thank you so much for replying. I'm about to attempt this job. Any advice regarding dealing with the drive shaft. I can't find any videos on youtube regarding xdrive
@@hamburger6133 just take it slow and be ready to get your hands in tight places. You could also get yourself a copy of ISTA that has instructions so you know the correct order for things etc. Worst case you may also be able to remove an engine mount to get things out.
What are the seals and gasket part numbers ?
1 x 18307581970, turbo to downpipe gasket ring
2 x 07119907330, oil supply line o-rings (for turbo and engine block)
1 x 11427615472, oil return line o-ring
1 x 11427577017, oil return line gasket
4 x 11537634204, turbo coolant line o-rings
1 x 11618506782, o-ring between turbo and hotside chargepipe
1 x 13717599291, o-ring between intake boot and turbo
10 x 18407502196, manifold mounting copper nuts
4 x 11657625293, manifold to cylinder head gaskets
3 x 11127593376, manifold mounting studs (just in case, not full set)
I have been looking for this info for months thank you great video you earned my sub and share
Did that same thing with the gaskets
Pretty sure it's by design so BWM can sell more 🤣
Can’t find the instruction.
Email me on thebuildroom@outlook.com and i'll send you a copy
yeah im not doing all that
Haha - yeah it was a bit of a mission - heaps of kms on it since now tho and not a single issue.
Promo sm ✌️
No idea what this means
This Is a twin turbo, I can see only one turbo.
It's a Twin-Power Turbo - just BMWs way of saying it's a twin scroll turbo, not that there's two turbos.
I have twin turbo too, 525D/ 218 ps/ N47 und I have the little turbo on the top of a big turbo.
Another construction ).
You are replacing turbo as if it is 10 bucks even if it is second hand 🥴
Lol, you can get new cassettes for them but they're almost as much as a second hand turbo and I couldn't be 100% sure it would fix the issue. It was completely locked up, it wasn't something that could be serviced without new parts.
