2011 N43 116i- inlet and exhaust vanos adjustment unit

[AshW4]

Hi all,

I have been quoted around £1200 from Harry Fairbairn to replace the inlet and exhaust vanos adjustment unit. I'm wondering if this seems like a good deal (I have no clue about cars). My timing chain has been replaced in Jan 16 and now again this week (bearing in mind the car has only done 41k miles). I feel like it is one thing after another. Arnold Clark have definitely sold me a great car!!

Any help would be appreciated.

It's not Arnold Clark - the N43 is an utterly hateful, unreliable piece of junk.

The inlet and exhaust vanos units are about £350 each - for both to need replacement is very bad luck. I'd get rid of the bloody thing ASAP.

2011 and 41k I'd be looking for goodwill from BMW assuming you have not already.
