Turbo Soot - What does it mean?
Hi.
Car is 2007 530d LCI.
Recently had a clogged DPF for a while but OK now.
A few issues remain:
Getting blow-by smoke from filler cap.
Oil smell in exhaust.
Turbo a bit whiney.
Exhaust smell in cabin.
Looking at the turbo there is a bit of soot near the actuator arm.
Soot on turbo
Not much free-play in the shaft - seems pretty good really.
Is the soot a cause for concern (is the car about to explode)?
Is it related to the other issues?
Cheers
