BMW 520d F10/F11 (2013) - Turbo & DPF Removal

[@wifferman]

Best explanation of a car repair I have seen on KZbin - brilliant job guys!

[@mechanicmatt871]

That turbo is in bad shape, your diagnosis was spot on. Thanks for sharing

[@sandyande]

Cheers Matt, Sandy

[@tlabort]

very well explained I have done a few and there not to bad to do the copper washes on oil feed and return are a bit fiddley and turbo bracket is a pain but not a bad job to do

[@philorkill]

A 520d really leaves room for improvement in the engine bay. 😄

[@MarcelHVAC]

i think LHD car will have some extra room there because there are no steering parts in the way?

[@PeterParker-ht8xz]

That pipe snapped is really common, same car with newer B47 engine and mine snapped, but was the cheapest part i bought from BMW, they keep plenty in stock as apparently it breaks all the time while they work on the cars too.

[@sandyande]

Yes Peter it's only £10 unbelievable for BMW!!! Cheers sandy

[@moky4241]

Whats the name of the pipe? Need to order from bmw. Thanks

[@PeterParker-ht8xz]

@@moky4241 its the oil breather pipe you can find part code on real oem

[@TheOne-po8bn]

would it save much labour cost to replace a turbo at the same time as replacing timing chain?

[@graz-e.m.s]

Great job Sandy & Rudy.

[@sandyande]

Cheers my friend are u getting plenty of work in Espana now? Cheers sandy

[@graz-e.m.s]

Yes & thank you for asking, plenty of work, I’m always doing air conditioning, plenty of diagnostic and electrical work. Also floods we get now and then keep me busy. Hope you guys are keeping well.

[@byronbuckett6018]

Sandy looking forward to seeing you clean out the DPF filter see what kind of products you use I’m looking at a BMW 530d six cylinder with a DPF problem next week Cheers boys keep up the good work

[@sandyande]

Hi Byron we are actually going to take it to the turbo guys in Glasgow tomorrow to get them to professional clean it to remove oil and ash so it's as good as New cheers sandy

[@deanczyz4138]

Hey - I have just had my turbo replaced on my 520d, it actually blew and caused everything to be covered in oil. DPF regen needed ?

[@TheGibby3340]

“Gubbed” says all you need to know! 👍

[@sandyande]

Sure is Ian sums it up beautifully in finest of English prose!!! Cheers Pal, Sandy

[@anuptavade3074]

@sandy, i have a 2011 bmw f10 520d, i am thinking to remove egr and dpf, is that a good idea? Whats the con? Also would that hurt the turbo?

[@zfloz9895]

EGR deleted/off and dpf on, is it possible?

[@kNIGHTriderryder]

How much hours for removal and reinstall and how much labour should someone be paying ? I have a upgrade in plan

[@sandyande]

No idea I just film the process with my friend Rody cheers sandy

[@TheFuneralDirector]

Great real word repair work, laser do a tool for them exhaust clamps ( Laser Exhaust Clamp Spreader/Installer 4469 ) I've not got one but been looking at them, have you ever removed a turbo off a mk 4 2ltr Mondeo while the engine is still in the car without removing the cylinder head ? ... There's gonna be a part 2 on this yeah ? Showing the result of the DPF clean, I've been looking at that cleaning solution myself ... Take care , Regards Andy

[@fortitudevalance8424]

The buildup of residue and deposits, was that caused by evaporating oil?

[@sandyande]

No the failed bearing in Turbo caused the oil

[@harrymoon6060]

@@sandyande Any problem with the piston rings? (that amount of oil is only from the turbo?)

[@Midnytcowboy]

Hello guys thanks for sharing this video. Am based in Glasgow and looking to clean my dpf. Want to know where you garage is so I can bring my car for you to remove the dpf so I can clean it. Thanks.

[@asimk9518]

What was the mileage on the car

[@danielgreenbaum8875]

Hi sandy what borescope camera was that you were using said it was off Amazon looked good quality keep on doing these great videos

[@sandyande]

I'll find out from Rody and get back to you cheers sandy

[@liviutelearca7511]

Hey Sandy, l have a quick question for you: i have issues with my dpf,520,2013. My mechanic said that he will cut the dpf c clean it and then weld it back. Is this normal, as l can t find the right answer. Great content.💯

[@sandyande]

I wouldn’t do that! The dpf is only a symptom of a problem further upstream

[@AdelinaAcsinte-ir1yu]

Poti sa iti cureti dpf acas, e online o solutie de curatat dpf £30 ai nevoie de o galeata , bagi solutia aia in dpf , te asiguri ca nu uzi senzori si lasi dpf peste noapte cu solutia aia in el dp ziua urmatoare cu jet de apa, 15 min si dpf e ca nou , te costa £30 solutia si in cazul meu platit mecanic sal dea jos si sa mil puna la loc, eu fac taxi cu F10 si asa nu .ai dai £250-£350 pt tot acelasi lucuru fac si aia care til curata profesional!

[@farukhnawaz4071]

Nice video

[@byronbuckett6018]

Okay I didn’t realise you were putting the DPF there as well can you send me the name of the company please I don’t know if you’re allowed to do a plug or not on here. Cheers

[@puff0086]

nice job:)

[@sandyande]

Cheers

[@zfloz9895]

So your EGR and dpf were f ed ,,because of your oil consumption from the turbo. Otherwise no problem.

[@sandyande]

Turbo was replaced, dpf was cleaned

[@John-qc1zv]

Wow look at the carbon build-up. Is this on all BMW diesel ?

[@sandyande]

Yes

[@davesterl]

Poor oul Roddy doin all the work

[@sandyande]

But I'm the camera man Dave LOL 😂

[@dai4366]

[@TheMrPopper69]

Very interesting/educational video, though now I’m scared my 318D has the same issue, anyone wana buy a kidney?

[@almiralijevic9958]

🤕🤯🤯

[@Catalin.Barlea]

So much plastic inside the engine bay,no wonder they all fall apart after 200k miles.

[@Luchyan91Luu]

I dont understand nothing... fuck :))

[@johnsmith-li3sh]

Surely thats not the DPF but the CAT, always thought the DPF is the next box downstream
