How Long to Fix Vanos & WG Rattle

gerardm · 01-24-2010, 06:16 PM

Hey... I'm thinking of taking my car in finally to get rid of this wastegate rattle. And every so often maybe 3 times over 11 months I threw the Inlet Vanos Variable Control code or something.

Anyone have any idea how long BMW might have my car for these 2 fixes?

Thanks.

3-4 days is my guess. My dealership needed 2 days to replace the turbos. Looked like a huge effort.

oh word so this is like a quicker thing... just wondered if they were gonna have it for like weeks or something lol

lol yeh ive had both issues since basically day 1 of owning the car was just to lazy to do anything about it. but seeing as how i'd like to make moves and go stage 3 this spring i figure i should pull the tune and intake out and get the loose ends taken care of now before it becomes a pain in the ass

What are the symptoms of your VANOS issues?? Do you hear a clicking from the engine that varies with engine speed ??

i dont hear or feel anything. the code always throws at what i feel to be odd times. every time it was like when driving on the expressway just chillen with like cruise control on.

It took 1 week for my dealer to do the turbos! Lots of going back and forth with engineering on doing proper diagnosis, then the parts had to get ordered... But they also fixed the A/T pan gasket due to a leak they found while they were in there.

Is this something an independant shop could fix, or just the dealer?
