2018 X1 Charge Pipe Removal

BMW Maniac · 06-29-2023, 03:17 PM

I'm having to replace the sealing cap on the timing case and it seems pretty easy but the charge pipe is in the way.

Is there anything to know about removing it? Seems pretty straight forward to remove the clamp on the turbo/intercooler and the 2 x 10mm bolts?

The sealing cap looks like it simply presses into the housing so I plan to remove it with a pick or pliers and reinstall new one.

Tips?
