Well other day whilst out driving (toddler loves sleeping in the car lol) the touring lost power (no boost pressure and a wailing noise) spoke to my mate who recons it's a knackered turbo so AA where out this morning to take the car to my mates garage 😏 Here it goes 😔😔😔

Might be wrong and wouldn't want to alarm you, but is yours a automatic? If so it shouldn't be towed far with the rear wheels on the deck

[magic77]

errr any RWD BMW should be flat bed only you better get the rear diff checked and gearbox as well. Typical AA should have at least towed it backwards as worse case scenario

Mr AA man needs a bollocking.

It's a manual and it's only just going up the road so touch wood it will be ok but I've got pics as proof Incase it isn't 😏 my wee one series got towed the same way and was fine so fingers crossed

[badgerbrock72]

As a manual you should be fine buddy happy days

Mine got recovered on Saturday, not nice eh?

Out of interest how many miles has the car covered and was it the turbo?

[magic77]

I dont know I recall few times my e90 got pickedup was always on flatbed

[Jimmy-F46 M-sport]

It most certainly isn't marty 😔 when it happened I was sure it was a just a burst pipe but then I started googling and all was revealed 😄
I'm sure it's on around 76k and it's an M47 with the Mitsubishi turbo. Not had it confirmed yet that it's the turbo but by the sounds of it it's most definitely the turbo😏 gonna find out the lowdown tomorrow. I'm praying it's not the turbo but I'm not holding out much hope 😄

What was wrong with your bud?

[marty]

Lost power whilst towing my trailer and had it recovered home. No faults stored but when I took round the corner to my indy the management light came on so checked faults again and egr fault stored.

It's had egr cleaned, 2 sensors, something else I can't remember and also the glow plug controllers knackered along with 4 glow plugs so had them all replaced. Covered 157k and does lots of miles every week.

Not got it back yet though. Good luck with yours.

Cheers bud just heading over to see if there's any updates 😏 good luck with yours 👍 what BMW have you got? 320d?

[RajB]

Never good to see/hear this. I had the turbo go on my old 530d. Not a good failure at all. Any updates buddy?
