335D turbo pipes
Hi All,
New to the 335D and new to the forum so hope I don't repeat anything etc.
I've recently bought a 2007 335D and after a bit of playing and driving I noticed the lack of power in low rpm. It is rapid once the car gets over 3,000 RPM but is flat otherwise..
I read all forums and then decided to have a look at my turbo pipes, all looked in poor condition but I couldn't find any breaks or pipes hanging off.
I decided to take the car to BMW today and got a call saying the actuator or pressure device had failed and it was £350 to replace. (luckily the extended warranty is covering this) I believe a after market actuator is about £80...
They tried pressuring me to have the turbo pipes replaced and explained the terrible condition, i was considering this until they wanted £250 ontop of the warranty claim that already covers some of this..
I haven't opted for this a I believe the pipes are a fairly simple process and can be done cheaply buying pipe of the web??
Has anyone replaced the turbo pipes and can they reccommend how and if I should do this?
Thanks
Dan
