Surely the problem was there when the car was sold though?
You're right about the big expense, a Rover enthusiast that posted on a forum I frequent worked at a BMW garage until recently (he's a mechanic), he reckons the wastegates on them is one of the biggest ball aches to do of the regular stuff, I thought your easy fix recently sounded too good to be true, unfortunately.
Oh yeah, from my first test drive I knew the sound was there. I looked into it and all but it was only when I had the car a while did I then realise how much of a nuisance it is to sort. BMW US extended the warranty on these cars for this issue and each owner got this issue solved with 2 new turbos, actuators, wastegates, the lot for free. BMW dealers here let on they don't know about it :rolleyes:
The thing is though, it's such a STUPID problem to have on a car like that! It's all down to Mitsubishi's parts as they made the turbo/actuator/wastegate for BMW. The TFSI Golfs have the same parts and the same issue. My mechanic put a spring type thing onto the actuator rod and it took up quite a bit of the slack. The rattle is still there but not as loud as it used be.0 -

All I know is that it's called V35 and it resolves the wastegate rattle issue.
Yeah ok if it is v35, it is an old one already...0 -

Like I said in a post above, it was rattling from day 1 when I took it for a test drive

Ode To The Motorist
“And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
