Personally I would ask the Turbo specialist if they can rebuild the turbo (which they will normally give a warranty) if they can't rebuild it then buy a Turbo it will very likely come with a warrantee of it's own. My own X5 E70 was brought at a silly low spares or repair price due to Turbo issues I fitted a Rebuilt Turbo (cost £460 with fitting kit) along with a New actuator that lot was purchased with a 2 year Warranty, 4 years and 30k later still going strong So as BMW are unprepared to give you any support why give them your money?? I would move the car to an Independent Garage also get the original Turbo back (why Northampton ?) If you talked to someone like GAP Turbo Chargers in Bristol I am sure they will collect your car fix it for a sensible cost and you will have a Warranted repair that will be supported. That would be my course of action for what it is worth Dave

Morning Fawad Welcome to the Forum Oh dear bit of a Saga First your questions 1. BMW do not make Turbos they buy them in, as a Company BMW do not repair anything they simply change New part for Old at the Clients expense hence the ££££ cost. As BMW found no sign of leaks to the loom I would challenge the Warranty Company as it is not an Injector fault 2. Garrett are one of the oldest turbo manufacturers ( around since the early 50's) they have been around longer than BMW have been fitting turbos to their cars? So a Garrett Turbo is at least as good (possibly better) as OEM quality depending on it's source. As your Warranty is not in place I would get a good independent to change the turbo or at least its actuator BMW have washed their hands anyway Good Luck Dave
