Turbo failure in the X5 E70
Posted: Fri May 29, 2026 12:04 pm
I chose to swap out the tiny turn because it began to whistle and was about to pop. Purchased a cartridge, cleaned off the area, and then replaced it. After around 200 yards of testing, I noticed that it smelt hot. I checked it out, and the turbo is rather hot. I got the following codes upon plugging it in: 452A DPF and 4507 EGR.
I attempted to force a regeneration, but it refused, and I clearly don't know how to direct it to do it that way. At rest, the data stream shows a back pressure of around 13. Prior to my turbo replacement, the vehicle was operating normally with only a little lag. After a reasonably easy turbo replacement, I don't understand how awful things got. Something is going on that I am not seeing.
Any assistance would be very valued.
Thank you ahead of time.
