I took my 08 335i into my indy mechanic who specialises in euro cars for a coolant leak that was draining coolant from max to minimum in a week. And it was diagnosed as a rear turbo coolant leak from either the supply or return lines. The mechanic suggested that when I take it in for my catless downpipes install, they may be able to reach the rear coolant lines however there is also the chance that they may not be able to reach the rear coolant lines and may need to take out the turbos. Does anyone know how to replace the rear turbo coolant lines?

Thanks

Turbo has to be taken out for the repair. Takes ten hours for the whole job.

Rear turbo needs to be removed. I just had this done. Took my guy an entire day.
