How to replace wastegate valve actuator in BMW 3 Series?

Model: BMW Serie 3 F31, F30 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Valve

In this tutorial we can see how to replace the wastegate valve in the BMW 3 Series. First of all, we wait for the engine to be completely cold, then we open the bonnet and disassemble both the entire filter box and the intake manifold. We then identify the turbine, located in the lower front area of the engine, then release the fixing clip of the relative arm and unscrew the fixing bolts with a Torx T45 key. Once this is done we can disconnect the connector, position the spare part and recompose everything following the reverse procedure.

Installation of Upgraded Intercooler Radiator with Pipes

Lift the vehicle on suitable axle stands, remove the front wheels, and then the front bumper and grille. Proceed to remove the front headlights; drain the coolant, remove the intercooler radiator and the hoses connecting it to the intake system. Position the new intercooler radiator in the grille, temporarily securing it with cable ties, and mark with a marker the part of the metal that needs to be removed to allow the new hoses to pass through. Cut the marked portion of metal and apply a gasket to the edge. Remove the inner cover of the bumper and position it near the radiator to identify any interfering parts to eliminate: again, apply a gasket to the edge of the cut. Create brackets for securing the new radiator and proceed with the installation of the connecting pipes from the radiator to the intake, shaping and connecting them appropriately. Finally, reassemble the bumper, headlights, and grille.
