X3 2006 20D - Turbo broke down for the third time
Hi everyone.
Today, my turbo broke down with a noisy whine/whisle followed by a sound that reminds of radiostatic/white noise. The noise lastet for 6-7 seconds and then disappeard togheter with the turbo. It now feels like I'm driving a 50bhp engine Didn't do anything special. Just accelerated from a roundabout up to the speed limit of 80km/h (about 50mph) with an easy foot on the throttle. The car is in the shop, waiting for parts. Driving a French rental car now... Since this is the third time this happens with my car in the same amount of years, I feel I need to know if I'm alone with this problem. Luckily I have a brilliant insurance that covers engine and drivetrain breakdowns, but I feel like an idiot showing up with the same problem each year. I'm glad my new X3 will arrive in a few months. Someone else with similar problems? |
