BMW 320d 07plate - TURBO AND INJECTORS GONE GARAGE FLEECING ME - mrkang

was wondering if anyone can help. i was driving back from wolves to leicester and the power dropped from 80 to 40mph and there was a whining noise. got home safely n went to two garages who said it was my turbo and i was looking at about £1400 with the oil filter pipes etc. then a recently new family member who has a garage said he could put a reconditioned turbo in and everything for £950 and it will be ready in 2 days. it has now been 2 f***in months and i still aint got it back. now i was told last wednesday that one of the injectors have gone and it will be 200 quid more so i wasnt impressed. so i went to pk car up on friday n they tell me that all 4 injectors have gone??? wtf? i demonstrated that this was a joke n they didnt know what they were doing. what have these prats done? surely they have f***ed the injectors up?? can anyone please advise???

Dealing with family members can be a major problem, best of luck there.

Suggest that after 2 months they have had long enough and proved beyond doubt their incompetence, recover car and take it elsewhere.

Its going to cost £££££'s whatever you do.

With BMW and MB cars you are always but always best seeking out a make specialist indy...every time.

They know these cars inside out, they are the only people whom i would ever trust.
