We currently have two NEW turbos (BMW 320d Turbo / BMW 120d Turbo & Ford Mondeo Turbo / Jaguar X-Type Turbo) on our Essex Turbo Specials Page.

1. BMW 120d Turbo / BMW 320d Turbo - 49135 05671

This New BMW turbo is manufactured by Mitsubishi. Alternative versions of the part numbers shown above maybe found on the actual turbo to help identify the turbo. These include:

Common Reason for failure

We are often told by customers that they have a faulty electronic box on their BMW turbo. Fault codes are found on the electronic actuator. (This is the little black box on the side of the turbocharger shown in the picture above but is sometimes referred to by customers as an electronic activator). The fault codes are normally picked up when a diagnostic test is performed on the vehicle and this type of failure showing fault codes on the electronic actuator are often as a result of a blocked engine breather assembly.

Why?

The engine breather assembly found on top of the rocker cover commonly get congested / blocked causing the engine to breathe heavily. This congestion then causes increased crank case pressure which creates an increased back pressure in the sump forcing the oil back up the oil return pipe to the turbo. Over a period of time this escaping oil can build up carbon around the variable vane assembly restricting their movement (i.e. sticky vanes). This restriction affects the operation of the electronic actuator generating the fault codes picked up on the diagnostic test mentioned above.

In some cases the outcome is a destroyed turbo and generally the driver has been experiencing issues such as a lack of power with the vehicle and the vehicle smoking from the exhaust leading up to the failure.

11520 (turbo barcode)

Common Reason for failure

This particular Mondeo turbo is one of the most popular we get asked to supply. The common reason for failure is a carbon build up around the variable vanes assembly which restricts the movement of the actuator arm generating a fault code in the electronic actuator (this is sometimes referred to by customers as an electronic activator).

The common electronic actuator fault code (error code) we are given by garages is fault code P132B. The fault code P132B relates to a REA fault (Rotary Electronic Actuator fault) which is the little black box on the side of the turbocharger shown in the picture above and is picked up when testing the Electronic Actuator for fault codes.

This carbon build up around the variable vanes is commonly referred to as suffering with ‘sticky vanes’ ('sticky vanes' are sometimes referred to by customers as 'sticky veins!'). This restriction can cause the turbo to experience boost pressure issues and can result in the vehicle being put into ‘limp mode’ (limp home mode) by the engine management system to try to prevent further damage to the vehicle. Sometimes the first thing the driver can experience is the ‘glow plug light’ coming on and intermittent power loss.
