Hi,

Hopefully someone can help.

I’ve just had the turbo go on my 2008 E61 N47 520d 76K. My first question is can anyone recommend a trusted reconditioning shop, I am in the UK?

My second question is the removal of the old turbo, I have looked at the Haynes manual and this states you have to remove the bottom bracing plate and lift the engine with a crane in order to remove the cat/dpf? This seems way OTT, does anyone having done this before have a rough procedure guide?

Thanks - I'll give them a call

How about the removal procedure?

should be an easier way, remove the airbox and if required the inlet manifold? Definitely ask them too, they should have info

No luck with fitting advice from midland turbo...looks like I'll just have a go.

I have just finished this job. Ignore the haynes manual, this is an easy job 2 hrs in and out........

Air box out
Drain oil.
Undersheild off.
Turbo / intake and compressor pipes off and out the way.
Disconnect all relevant sensors.
Oil feed and return off.
Three manifold to turbo bolts.
Turbo bracket underneath.
Job done!
