I Need Help!

BryanDJHP · 09-11-2015, 02:56 PM

I just bought a BMW 335XI yesterday and posted about it. The only problem I noticed was a weird noise every time I give it gas an then let go of the gas at about 2500 and higher when I release the gas it makes a weird grinding noise on the bottom near the front of the car. I think it could be the wastegate. It doesn't make that nice turbo noise when I release the gas. Instead it makes bad grinding noise. Please help me? I can only think of the waste gate. And if it is that how much would they charge me

does it sound like that? If so, its the wastegates. There's an 8 year/80,000 mile warranty on the turbos for this.

Yea that grinding noise is how it sounds.... Damn. My car has 82k miles about to hit 83k in like 10 miles more. How much am I looking at? Is there anyone else or any person who can just replace the wate gate for me instead of whole turbo
