I noticed originally that upon acceleration my cars performance was down, very low MPG and it was hissing, which didn't seem right! So I took the engine cover off, and noticed a large hole on the rubber tubbing going from the EGR. Had the EGR and cooler deleted and replaced the top rubber pipe. Thinking this was fixed, it did make an improvement, I also noticed another leak going into the intercooler . Took the car into my mates garage with a pit, got the pipe going into intercooler replaced including the seals and thought yep that's me done.
No
Things are much worse than I thought, not only is the Radiator really bad it's sagging down and broken, but the intercooler has a bad leak towards the turbo side and has been pushing out oil for some time.
Undertray caked in oil
Oil under the intercooler
Oil covering the corner of the intercooler
Turbo looks to be in good condition, and I regularly change the oil as well. So hopefully when I get the intercooler and radiator replaced my performance should go up including the MPG! I have a BMW diesel turbo 2004/140k remapped to around 210bhp, 360+lbft torque, which at times it doesn't feel like this!
Damn you leakage ££££££££££
