There are no Turbo specialist in Bristol, so the part went to one in Northampton. The GAP turbo Bristol is just written on their website but they are located in Midlands/Birmingham. I had to give BMW approval to go ahead for replacement as the cost of loan car, plus paying them for labour should be done but then saving of £900 on non-BMW approved turbo will go towards the hassle of finding and paying some other garage to collect the car and then pay labour/collection costs to them too.

Hi Dave, Thanks for your reply. First the problem is Car is at BMW and undriveable right now so either BMW (Bristol) put the old broken Turbo back (which is currently in Northampton with a Turbo specialist) OR install some other Turbo (either their OR I buy one for them) but then if its not BMW approved then BMW will no cover any warranty for it. The current warranty is extended one from Assurant and according to them its not covered as Turbo is broken (actuator which can't be replaced on its own) due to diesel going in. And if BMW can find a reason for this which warranty company accepts then they can reassess the claim. And BMW can't find any reason for how this happened. I am not sure what to do now. My Car is with BMW for almost 3-weeks now and the loan car they gave me, since last week they are charging me per day for it.

Hi, need some urgent help please ... BMW 2016 220d F46, have extended warranty. Got drivetrain warning and car not picking speed fast. BMW dealership found that the Turbo Actuator is faulty, warranty company asked Turbo specialists report. Turbo specialists found that Actuator failure and it had diesel inside suggesting that Fuel injector might be leaking diesel over the wiring. Warranty company denied the claim. Asked BMW to investigate further, according to them the fuel injector is fine and the wiring loom (they unplugged it) is completely clean and no trace of diesel. So there is no mechanical issue with the car. BMW quoted 2300 GBP PLUS labour for the Turbo replacement. The Turbo specialist can provide Garrett Turbocharger for 1161 GBP. BMW can install that turbo but then I have to sign some document to say that they will not be covering any further issues with the Turbo. Now I have few questions: - Is getting Garrett turbo and installed by BMW will be good approach? Means non BMW approved Turbos are still of good quality? - If BMW can't find any issues then why it failed? And the new one can fail too due to same issue? - Get the Turbo installed by the BMW, take the car and then take it to some other garage to diagnose the problem? If they can find something then I can go back to warranty company that if the other issue is covered then turbo should be paid for by them too. Please suggest what I can do now? Thanks
