Blown Turbo in my 04

[bigwave2255]

your kidding right??? the last service was 18 months ago!!!!!!!

no wonder your turbo failed, minimum excluding mileage done should be 12 months, and in my personal view that is still far to long,

my car has done 160,000 km so similar mileage to you, i have it serviced EVERY 10,000 km

thats every 6000 miles, engine oil and filter plus general check over.

i had the trans, transfer case and both diff oils changed at 100,000 km and will have it done again at 200,000.

if you want your diesel motor to last KEEP clean oil in it.

BMW are totally joking with there stupid service indicator light system.

and are only interested in the first owner on the vehicle, once its out of waranty there is no reason for them to want the vehicle to last, cuts down on sales.
