Sheesh my trip around equipment failure town begins

Nushibo · 08-06-2014, 03:30 PM

So about 3 1/2 weeks ago I got all six injectors replaced under warranty. The tech is a friend and took care of it for me. Well fast forward a week I got a ghost ses showed injector smoothness and throttle codes. I figured man I'll just clear it and see if it comes back. Guess what it did but with friends! Codes are 4592(injector 4), 4687 ( throttle actuator), 46f9 and 4d32. (Reducing agent sensor.) So glad I opted for gold warranty at thisnpoint . mileage 54k build date 12/10. Let's see what the dealership has to say. I've been to the dealership more re times than I can count lol. Good thing they offer lunch. Just posting for a log and in case anyone else ends up with codes too.

Was the DDE ever replaced?

At least you got 6 new very expensive injectors.

Woohoo! Looks like the warranty paid off. New Intake manifold and carbon cleaning! Now the question is to meth or not to meth and EGR block since i still have 45k left on the warranty lol.

Carbon cleaning was covered with your gold extended warranty huh? Was this because the tech was your friend and hooked you up or they actually just covered it?

My friend here in the island needs a DDE and BMW has bseed him for 2 months i told him to give them some hell

Its covered under gold. I assume he convinced BMW NA to step up. This isn't the first vehicle has come into the dealership for this, others not including mine have issues too. I assume they try to resolve the issue with other things injectors, etc etc, to save money or just to resolve the fault. if it happens within a short period of time they are forced to pull out all the stops. For mine time between injectors and injector code again was exactly 30 days. Its honestly up to the techs discretion. So if you're being shitted out of a cleaning or proper procedure its the tech. BMW NA doesn't have eyes or ears in the dealerships so techs are it. What they say goes essentially. For me they denied cleaning the first time because there was only a code for injectors so injectors replaced, cleaning denied. Then 30 days later boom injectors again. Well it can't possibly be the Injectors just fixed that. So time for Service issue for carbon next on the list. If it happens again I assume DDE. If it happens again I assume lemon law buyback. Whether if its he's my friend and I got special treatment is debatable. But the service adviser said this isn't the first time either way I dint think they had any other option other than clearing my code and sending me off. Plus this is only 4k out of Original Warranty.
