Bmw Warrigton have called to book my R56 MCS in for a Turbo Belt recall. Anyone else had this recall done yet?

When was your car built and have they said what the problem with the belt is thanks Derek

I have not had a call. Anyway, turbos are not belt driven, the turbo is spooled up by exhaust gas flow. This sounds like B******t to me

On second thoughts do they mean "bolts" not "belts"
