Request: PUMA doc on B38 wastegate rattle - TitanicSnake - 01-07-2022

Hi everyone,

I am here to ask for a favor from those who have access to the BMW PUMA database. Is it possible to check if there is a document regarding the turbo wastegate rattle on an BMW B38 engine?
Wastegate actuare was already replaced but noise is still there.

BMW F40 07/2020

Thank you in advance!

There is no Service solution for B38 wastegate rattle. If it rattles, replace the turbocharger.

Sorry if I bring this thread back but I have found some info online.

Look at the pictures below.
It talks about B42, B46, B48 and XB1G engines but the described symptom is identical on the B38.

I don't know if the document was updated since then

There is one puma for the B38 rattling noise regarding Turbo wastegate but it tells only to update the DME. I can provide to you but only in German unfortunately

Thank you very much to both of you!
My F40 should already have this fix since it's running the latest OTA I-level (03/2023) but the noise is definitely still there.
I assume that for BMW the B38 is not worth the time investment for a wastegate rattle

Anyway, thank you again for the info !
