Featured Replies

Hi I have a problem I had a message come up on the screen saying drivetrain issue can continue journey check with service provider. Iv had a diagnostic and shows it’s a swirl flap problem. A lever at side of the as popped off and won’t stay on. Iv been quoted £1353 to be fixed and the warranty won’t cover it only had the car 35 days. Any advice on blanking it off

    Welcome to the Forum

    I would ask who the Warranty is with? or is it just from the supplying Garage ?

    I would be talking to them about the sale of goods act as the the car is "not Suitable for purpose" in it's current condition, Get tough with them. I am not sure which engine you have so just checked www.realoem.com BMW online parts list the 2.0d inlet manifold complete with new gaskets is available from several sources for less that £100 so £1350 is taking the proverbial even for a BMW Dealer

    Check yourself on realoem just put the last 7 digits of your Vin number into the search box

    Good Luck
