NEW BMW Turbo with Electronic Actuator – 742730-5018S – 11657790308

(Genuine Garrett Honeywell Turbo)

The turbo is manufactured by Garrett Honeywell and alternative versions of the part numbers shown to the right maybe found on the actual turbo to help identify the turbo.

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. 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 / cam 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.
