im taking my car in for the rattle noise i belive its the wastegate, should i take all my aftermaket parts out for the inspection or take it just in. its not my fault the wastegate wasn't built right the first time so anything that i installed shouldn't be a factor but anyhow shoul i get it to stock?the noise is the same as in this video--does it qualify

[JohnSprm69]

dude you need to take everything off.

[solow]

Go around to different dealers, there are some dealers that are mod friendly. The problem I see here is that I've seen past threads where people with downpipes just pay an Indy to replace their turbos because uninstalling and installing the downpipes would cost a lot.

i can take those out no problem but it will throw check engine due to the cats should i just leave the dpfix and dps that way even if they scan it'll be clean :/

You can probably get away with leaving it. From what I know, they can only deny you warranty work if they can prove a mod was the cause of the part's failure.

yea thats what i was thinking so i will leave the dps and dpfix and see what happens

It could be the actuator rod on the front wastegate. Just pop the hood and start your car. You can see it and hear the rod rattling due to it being loose.

[solow]

thatll still fall under the wastegate repair warranty wouldnt it---

[2nice89]

lmao thats the same exact thing that happened to my turbos, and rallye bmw here in ny fixed mine...i took all my mods out tho...tune, intakes, cp....got downpipes after but speak with a SA before hand and see what they say...downpipes wouldnt cause these to fail because they already kno the turbos are bad to begin with

tx for info(did you have your check engine light on when you took yours in)?? i hope it works out im going to leave the dpfix and the dp's in eventually ill take the dpfix out i just dont want it to trigger the engine light

[E90_boostjunky]

i heard when they check for waste gate rattle (from my bmw tech) that they take the car out for a test drive, and start it up on cold start, and usually dont scan for codes. i could be wrong though. if your cool with your service advisor then leave them in, if not then start kissing there ass and buy them some wings or donuts next time you go in. LOL Good luck

[persian54]

Go back to stock, no question about it

[Thumper33]

it is true though that they can only deny a warranty claim if they can prove that your mods caused the issue. However, I'm sure they'll make note of any mods on there and I'd hate to see something come up in the future that they get a "get out of jail free" card for.

Put it back to stock as much as possible and you're best off. The JB4 I would probably just leave in.

[solow]

the dp's cost money to take out and put back in is there anyway they can show that they would cause the turbo to go bad---:/

[BEAR-AvHistory]

They can say they did & deny the work, what can you do?

[solow]

yeah its tru ahhh that blows

if you leave the downpipes in they might not want to work on the car because of the aftermarket part you have connected to what is giving you the problem in the first place. so if i were you i would play it safe and remove EVERYTHING.

just saying.

people on here get away with taking their cars in all modded but then again people on here get service denied for taking their car in all modded.

it's your call really.

[BEAR-AvHistory]

+1 its the luck of the draw unless its a part that needs BMWUSA approval to service, then you are screwed.

Two thing kept me out of DP's, warranty issues & yearly state emissions inspection. That being said I dynoed 375/414 on a Dynojet which it pretty good for a street car with occasional trips to the strip or track running a JB4-G5/ISO & a 5" FMIC.

Truth is if I was looking for a strip or track car I would not have bought a BMW.
