Should i complain about rattling wastegates?

A4rings · 08-13-2010, 03:28 PM

hey whats up guys. I have a service appointment soon to replace the brake fluid on my 2007 335i (warranty and i have been getting some wastegate rattle when in idle and revving till december 2010, then cpo from there on) or if i leave it in gear and let the motor rev from 4k+ rpm right when it hits 3500 it makes a loud rattle sound.

now im just a little worried about ct the rattle complaining about the rattle because i had a Procede v4 and DCI on my car that i have uninstalled and also cleared all the codes/shadow codes with a BT tool. Im just worried that they may open a puma case or something a screw me and void my warranty.

am i just being too paranoid?

YES. I did like 5 times over many visits. Replaced actuators twice. Now theyre replacing the turbos. I heard BMW has made 3 or 4 revisions to the turbos since the 06 productions.

it's just the actuator rod that was redesigned starting from 09. it went from 6mm diameter to 8mm diameter.

Yes, if you want new turbos.

Yes I also heard from dinan they revised the turbos 3 or 4 times and are working on a "final" one

So you should take it in because you probably need new turbos cuz only 10% of the time the actuator fix actually works, its a band aid.

I have an AA Processor on my 335i, do you think that BMW will still replace the part given that I have an aftermarket part which in their eyes "will affect the engine"? The last time i carried the car in they wanted to give me a hard time about it and wanted me to pay for time and labor because they said they did some software upgrade on the ECU and since I have an aftermarket part on the car it voids the maintenance warranty that would cover time and labor.

I would definitely take the AA processor out and go back to stock before taking it the dealer.
