In this video I show you how to adjust your wastegate actuator arm on your rear turbo. This would apply to any N54 equipped BMW with wastegate rattle. The work was done on my 2008 BMW 335i.
This will help quiet down your wastegate rattle. This is a temporary fix but could buy you lots of time.

Hi hope your well. I have done some good repairs/service thanks to your excellent videos. Now I'm tackling my waste gate rattle on rear turbo I using the same tools as u did but for life of me cant crack open the 10mm locknut now iv even taken off the undertray and tried from below with no joy. I'm on day two of trying to crack nut open. But I have just realized your car is a left hand drive. I'm in the uk and have steering rack in way😥 what a plonker I am.

I just installed pure stage 1 turbos in my 135i and it’s got a horrible rattle right off the bat. So I diagnosed my wastegates with the vacuum canisters and finnaly determined that it is in fact my rear turbo wastgate. I’m completely stuck and depressed. I’ve spent around 4000 in parts and now I have the rattle. I’m going to try this but if this doesn’t work, idk what to do.

It sounds like you may be out of adjustment on the arms, it might be time for rebuilt turbos. The bushing in the exhaust housing wears out to a point where you can't adjust it any longer.

@enes19992525 6 жыл бұрын

Thats because you tightened it and you should losen it so you actually opened your wastegate thats why you had the turbo lag. The exhaust gasses went through the open wastegate so it will take more RMP to spin the turbo... do the same thing but now make it lose. I made the same mistake and saw that went from 16psi to 13 ishh psi then turned it the right way around now making little over 17psi

Thanks for your video guidenss. Brilliant video and most appreciated. I did the adjustment today on rear actuator arm. Needed to cut all the spanners 4, 4.5 and 10mm since mine is a RHD in Hong Kong, steering column was right in the way. Taping a few inches of electrical wire to the tiny spanners helped a tonne too as is was too easy to drop the spanners, the taped on wire helped with manipulation of the tiny little things.

Thank you for this video. I have a 2007 E92 335i and my car recently went into full time limp mode, the car is making pretty much no boost whenever I drive it. I noticed on cold starts there is extremely pronounced wastegate rattle, and I was thinking this could be the cause of my issue. Is it possible that this adjustment could help the wastegates seal correctly and bring me out of limp mode? Thanks again

@VehicularDIY 7 жыл бұрын

Hey when the car went into full limp mode how were you driving it? Does it run rough while it's in limp mode? That would be a sign that the ECU shut off an injector. Do you have INPA setup on your computer? There would be useful codes stored in the ECU with regards to what is prompting the limp mode. I don't think wastegates being out of adjustment would cause the ECU to be stuck in limp mode. BTW I've seen a couple of your videos, great job on your channel! I'd be happy to help you figure this out.

@VehicularDIY 7 жыл бұрын

Yes as long as you make sure that you still have a few threads left going into the arm. What happens over time is you eventually run out of room to adjust it any further then the turbos need to come out to change out the bushing but if you still have some threads remaining in the rod and you're sure it won't come undone then yes you can adjust a bit more but proceed with caution.

@MrMikeyach 5 жыл бұрын

You can do this to the front turbo, but it's nearly impossible unless you have the engine out of the car. The consensus way to fix the front rattle applying this same concept is to shim the wastegate bracket with a couple of washers where it attaches to the compressor housing of the turbo. You can get to it from the front of the car without major disassembly. Worked on my 535i. Google it... there’s a good writeup in one of the forums.

I've only just done it when it was barely starting to make any noise. Not a lot of mileage on my turbos.

Eventually the waste gate won't be able to close and you'll get a code for low boost.

n54's are high maintence cars, most likely either your spark plugs, or coils. Only way to know is with codes. If cylinder code swap coils, or plugs to find the issue, if none of those most likely injectors. Check for oil in the plug well, maybe you have leaking valve cover gasket causing misfires due to oil. If not a cylinder related problem, you have to diagnose via code, could be a few things. Vano's, boost leak, vacuum leak etc. You also may need a good intakr valve cleaning, if theyre too dirty these cars misfire. These cars you need to either be able to maintain yourself, or get ready to spend alot on maintence, if you want it to run 100% all the time.

I let it soak in some CRC Rust Off .. however when I spin the nut it seems it spins the whole rod. I think I managed to get it a little tighter but would like a little more. More CRC and hope it looses? ahhhh... Holding the rod while turning the nut seems kind of hard.. no space No rattle on acceleration now.. but on decel there is still a little bit you can hear when the road is next to a concrete wall etc.

Hahaha.. Takes 20minutes to do if you have decent tools. If you're worried about turning wrenches on these cars, I suggest buying something SBC powered or get deep enough pockets to pay someone else to do it.
