I've had a stock 135i customer need a new bank 2 turbo because the WG shaft was severely worn and would bind open. No boost from the bank 2 turbo, limp mode, 30FF code, tested and found the WG shaft worn so badly that the WGA couldn't pull the WG shut. That was a stock vehicle out of warranty. Poor guy just bought the car a couple months prior, too.

One thing to note is that there is still a subjective clause to replacement. They have to be making an "unacceptable" level of noise. This is really a judgement call. Hook your tech up with a case of beer or something if you want to sway things in your favor.. haha. Mine sounded like a pissed off rattlesnake even when completely warm during decel and idle.

I just installed some new Pilot Super Sports and got my intake valves walnut blasted. The Car drives amazing. Next Step is to get some real tires on your car |

The wastegate levers, arms, bushing etc, are all part of the issue, and part of the turbo housing itself. So, it all gets replace under the recall if it is out of tolerance. |

I'm at 92k miles and currently trying to get my service contract to replace my turbos because of this. Are people having just the wastegates replaced? I spoke with three different BMW dealerships and no one can get just the wastegates, only the entire turbocharger assembly.

Does this mean that it doesn't come with the actuator rod and/or flapper?

In france bmw don ´ t replace only wastegate actuator.
I ve ordered 2 wastegate actuator but impossible in france to change them and calibrate it. And as it necessary to remove turbo they prefer change directly turbo. So i ve got a game of wastegate actuator new in my house, never used. Now in france it is not possible to order part number wastegate separatly |
