Checking boost with an app?

Soul_Glo · 03-16-2019, 06:10 AM

Is there a way to check boost pressure via the iDrive or through a diagnostic app.?

Suspect a boost leak.

Thanks

Edit. Meant boost not vacuum

you can purchase a wifi obd2 adapter and then download dashcommand or obd fusion (IOS)

I've never seen vacuum on diesels, just 0.01 PSI to 30 PSI. Even coasting creates boost not vacuum. Please learn me something.

I've seen vaccuum from the MAP when a regen is occurring at idle, otherwise nope.

Anyone had luck watching Boost levels in BimmerLink?

I know that its possible but I cant quite figure it out. First of all, the unit of measure it not PSI (but will be soon according to developer)... and secondly, mine never shows a negative or vacuum state.

Kinda lost.
