335i N54 - No boost - Loud Exhaust? - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

Now there's your problem!

Not seen this one before.

Just one of these very unfortunate things to happen.
I thought it was going to be the famous wastegate issue, and I was close, but I've never seen the pin snap on the penny valve arm before :shock:

Ah well, off to welder it is!

oh wow! yes, this is the 1st case i've heard of this.

enrita · 08-07-2012, 07:00 AM

Good luck welding that.

JamesM3M5 · 08-07-2012, 07:40 AM

Wow, RHD. Indeed, good luck welding that on the car. I assume you're going to have to pull the turbo to do that. Ugh, at least the rear turbo is easier to get off/on!

craneboy · 08-07-2012, 07:47 AM

It should weld juts fine with a TIG set.

Just questionable if it has to be taken off or not. We shall see.

TOS_335i · 08-07-2012, 07:48 AM

Same thing happened to me... Had the turbo replaced under warranty

ar design II · 08-07-2012, 09:59 AM

Wow! thats gonna be a tight place to do some tig welding... GL

Ive been running turbo setups for 11 years. I've never seen that happen in all my time in the scene. I would try to make BMW replace it free as a defect. Worth a shot.

Yeah, same here. Just unlucky I guess.

I know what you mean about approaching BMW, but I wouldn't trust them to fix my lawnmower.
I know my tuner will do a great job, however it needs to be done.

All done in situ!

Nice save! That's like making a one handed catch and dragging your toes for the touchdown in the back of the endzone
