BMW Turbo - THINGS TO KNOW - if you have problems - F20 F21 116i 118i 114i

The Turbocharger on this BMW 114i can look very complicated and hopefully this video will help you resolve the issues on the turbo or the auxiliary components like actuator , blow off valve , solenoid .

Thanks for u videos about 114 BMW. Please, can u tell me how I can remove or check the down cover turbocharger ? In this video, you removed the up cover. I need to tighten cover down.

Can you tell me what the best setting are for the wastegate adjustment for a bmw f20 116? The turbo gives a fold pressure when i make more than 4000 rpm. The turbo was disconnected because the rattle fix is repaired and a new actuator was installed. How mutch pressure do you have build up to close the wastegate?

Hi, Thanks for the video... is the double pipe in the side of the turbo water or oil.. you say in the video oil but I belive it connects to the water pipes

[@pavlosm8827]

You are correct. The dual pipe connection on the side of the turbo is for coolant circulation (inlet/outlet). Top and bottom pipe connections are for oil circulation.

How would you switch on the solenoid once it went off and there is no power in the engine?

Why is it so hard to split the core from the manifold?? I have two here and I can't split them.

[@pavlosm8827]

At 1:30 I believe you are giving a wrong explanation as to how the actuator mechanism works. This design comprises a normally open (NO) wastegate flapper, which closes the exhaust bypass door shut, while vacuum is applied on the actuator mechanism, building up boost on the compressor side. At idle no vacuum is applied and the wastegate opens wide, which means the turbine spins slower, generating less boost. It might sound strange and wrong to you but actually this specific boost control system is why this engine needs a separate vacuum pump.

My turbo is hot is this normal?

[@dakalodakalo2832]

Really hot

[@henryodonoghue1437]

Mine too

[@henryodonoghue1437]

I have a thermostat message when I plug in on obd. Guess that must be it ?
