X3 35D in from one of our trade customers this week, both low pressure and high pressure turbo failure. This is a major job on these big 3L diesels.
This is the 3rd set of turbos this month on the N57 engines.
Vehicle also had a fracture in the rocker cover ( leaking oil ) so a new genuine rocker cover was fitted, with all injectors cleaned up and new copper washers fitted.

Customer opted for matching G2000 rear discs and the rear calipers fully refurbished in gloss black by Green Genie Rebuilds as always an immaculate job.
Always a pleasure to work on someone’s pride and joy.
