I'm back. The dealership is fixing the turbo issue for free but found the following issues. I'm not paying to have these things fixed. Do the diagnoses go on the VIN record?
Rear differential bushing - torn. Could start tearing up the rear end. $1,339.24
Rear universal joint is cracked - $827.96
Front end that controls steering - thrust rod bushings - not torn but cracked - $1,396.70
Then they have to do an alignment $230
Needs coolant flushed
Battery weak $512.80 - registers it to BMW
The rear diff bushing is a little bit tricky because it requires special tools and dropping the exhaust to do it. But that price is 2x too high.
Rear guibo joint is about 2X too high.
Thrust arm bushing depends if its upper or lower.
Battery price is crazy. If you have an AGM battery, and replace it with another AGM battery, it should be ok. Regardless, you could pay much less to have a new battery installed and then have a good independent mechanic reset the battery registration.
