Hi i have been surfing the BMW320D forums.....and it appears the E47 M47
diesel engine was fitted with a pressure converter.....this allows the correct opperation of the variable vane turbo charger. Apprarantly it is highly vunerable to clogging thus giving very sluggish turbo performance..... my question is ... does the Freelander with the M47 engine have this.....I know it has the variable vane turbo....so it seems logical it has.... can any body shed light on this....:rolleyes:
 
Freelander vacuum solenoid has an external filter which hangs down behind the airbox (between it & the bulkhead). It loks like an old style fuel filter that cars with carburettors sometimes had fitted.
 
Aghh yes now you mention it I have seen it ..... gotya ........ well bearing in mind my old truck is 10 years old ...... I think I will change it ....... any hint of blockage seems to cause performance issues.....
 
Cripes ...... mine must be like dead see scrolls!!!!!! Will let you know if I find any difference....in truck on replacement
