The BMW TwinPower Turbo has been installed in BMW engines since 2011 and allows more range variability while reducing CO2 emissions. Despite the name, the TwinPower Turbo is a single turbo charger that uses two separate scrolls. Essentially dividing the cylinders to eliminate any overlap period and increase performance and efficiency.

You will find the TwinPower Turbo on BMW’s 4 or 6-cylinder engines regardless of whether they are running on petrol or diesel. While the larger 8-cylinder engines use a slightly different design (confusingly) referred to as the TwinTurbo Power.

Common Problems with the TwinPower Turbo?

The twin scroll turbo has certainly delivered on the promise of increased performance and reduced emissions. As with all engine components though, regular servicing and routine maintenance are essential to keep everything running its best. The expert team at Auto Studio specialise in European vehicles and can ensure your car is reliable and safe.

High Pressure Fuel Pump

It’s no secret that there have been problems with the high-pressure fuel pumps in some BMW engines over the years. Though it can be more common in older models, it is still something to be aware of. If you have noticed delayed engine starts, engine sputters when accelerating, high engine temperatures and increased fuel consumption then it could be time to look at your high-pressure fuel pump (sometimes referred to as the HPFP). The Expert RAA approved mechanics at Auto Studio in Adelaide can easily diagnose and isolate any problems with your BMW and ensure you are driving a safe and reliable vehicle.

Regular Servicing

The turbo is an essential part of your engine, and it is important to carry out routine services to ensure that they are operating correctly. Maintaining regular servicing and sticking to recommended service intervals is the best way to prevent problems with your engine.
