Thanks Rob.
Alternator is off the car! (what a job!!) brushes are worn right down - only to be expected I suppose as car has covered 203000 miles. I will chase up replacement tomorrow.

There are two sensors, one on each front wheel. They usually break on dis-assembly! Replacements are available from Eurocar parts - Part no 106720128 @ about £10 each.

Omega General Help / 2.5TD BMW engine turbo checks

« on: 16 June 2012, 13:14:15 »

Hi Guys,
I'm looking to carry out some checks on the turbo & charge air system of my F/L 2.5 TD estate!

 1   Where is the best point to tap into, to check the turbo output pressure, and what pressure ( psi ) would you expect to  read on a standard turbo in good condition?

 2  What pressure would you expect to read at the inlet manifold of a charge system in good condition?
    ( With the EGR system blanked off )
     
  TIA
