135I Wastegate Rattle.

[TM87V]

Hi, wondering if anyone has experienced the dreaded Wastegate rattle? Mines started to do it (2009 135i) although it's only done 35,000miles. Have had it looked at by Birds BMW where I bought the car and have been told its normal, I find that a bit hard to believe on what was new a £40k car. Anyone know of any permanent, non bodge fixes? Any help much appreciated.

Cheers

Hi Chris I had a 335 with same problem and it had covered only 26k, the turbos are made by Mitsubishi and are a bit naff, loads of stuff on Bimmerforums about this, contact Adam at Turbo Development and Engineering 0208 560392 he keeps them on the shelve and does an exchange policy, £600 I think I was plus my old turbos.

Regards

Stephen
