BMW X5 Turbo Reconditioning
So the turbo on your bmw X5 or X6 has failed or it has started to whistle and you are now looking for a reconditioned turbo for your Bmw X5 or X6.
At Bmw turbo reconditioning we can offer you a Bmw turbo reconditioning service for your Bmw X5 or X6.
The main cause of Bmw turbo failure or turbo whistle on the Bmw X5 or X6 is the condition of the engine oil. Most Bmw diesel engines will produce a lot of soot like gases which make there way into the oil via the piston rings inside the engine. Theses gases are vented back into the engines induction system via the crankcase breathing system so in theory they never stay in the crankcase long enough to contaminate the oil. The problem with this process is, it occurs constantly when the engine is running and eventually the oil gets contaminated to the point where it can no longer lubricate the turbo, once this happens then the turbo on your Bmw X5 or Bmw X6 will begin to fail.
The first sign of Bmw X5 or Bmw X6 turbo failure is turbo whistle , this is caused by the compressor blades on turbo braking apart which in turn disturbs air flow and causing the turbo on your Bmw X5 or X6 to whistle. Bmw X5 or Bmw X6 turbo whistle can be heard on acceleration when the turbo is under pressure to produce the required amount of air to feed the engine.
The problem with this is, the compressor blades are damaged which means the turbo will never produce the required amount of air the engine needs to perform at its peak, so you end up with a over working turbo which is already damaged and just getting worse. The best course of action is to replace the turbo on the Bmw X5 or Bmw X6 or have the turbo reconditioned.
Now that you know the cause of your Bmw turbo failure lets look at some prevention methods you can put into practice once you have got the turbo repaired on your BMW. The main thing you need to address is the engine oil,(ie) the condition of it and how long its been in there. BMW recommend using long life oil which is not due to be changed at about 12,000 mile intervals, the problem with this is the oil is constantly getting bombarded with crankcase gases creating soot particles and leading to sludge, the only way to prevent this is to ignore the long service intervals and change the oil and filter every 6000 miles.
