    Oil in turbo - problem or stop worrying?

    Dotcom1970 replied to Changy's topic in E60/E61 2004-2010

    You're better off replacing it with a cast iron manifold

    E61? Have you checked the wiring in the tailgate hinges?

    Has anyone tried an aftermarket DPF?

    Dotcom1970 replied to edd_jedi's topic in E60/E61 2004-2010

    or you could try cleaning the DPF once you have removed it?

    It won't make it brighter due to the old design of the optics.

    Intermittent Active steering fault

    Dotcom1970 replied to abs_83's topic in E60/E61 2004-2010

    I had a similar issue one cold morning. I stopped the car and then did the full lock to lock trick a couple of times and this seemed to reset the angle sensor

    I purchased a spare 2nd hand one of these and it's now sitting in my box of unused parts, if anybody is interested...

    E61 535D Touring - Performance Expectations

    Kinda makes sense, especially if the gearbox oil cooler has gone FUBAR!

    eBay Turbo Core / Cartridge - 525d

    Dotcom1970 replied to AlexGSi2000's topic in E60/E61 2004-2010

    Hello!! I had the core replaced on my E61 by a chap in Southampton - Not sure where he got the parts from, but it certainly did the job.

    Might be worth finding a BMW retrofit specialist near you for advice, or pay them to complete the job - they will know what cables, modules and coding needs to be done to achieve what you want.
