They had to have pulled the codes, arguru stated that the dealership said that the codes related to some "emissions" issue.

Given that the thread is pretty long at this point, I don't know if anything has been brought up to rule out this most obvious possibility. Anyone? |

Some check engine lights are safe to ignore, others not so much. It seems to me that the dealer didn't do enough due diligence in this respect. |

Not on my Ford. My gas tank is capless. It really is pretty ingenious. Last edited by NewNole2001; 01-04-2012 at 06:05 PM.. Reason: formatting |

These error codes are no different from error messages compiler throws when you try to compile a piece of code. There is the right amount of it that makes it useful. Too many, and it becomes useless. I was merely commenting on the German tendency to throw error on every little thing, making it more difficult to tell what's important and what isn't. When you say that the dealer will never turn down a business, I guess the implication is that there never was any serious error code, and arguru is making it up. Maybe. He would have had to forge that diagnostics from independent mechanic, but I suppose anything is possible. I am on the other hand personally quite convinced that this issue is real. |

When I read your post, I interpreted as defending the dealership's position. If that was a mistake, then I apologize. However, if you look at the list of codes that the independent mechanic pulled, it is a bit mystifying as to how they could have honestly mistaken all those codes as being benign. They even claimed they were emissions related, which again seems baseless. But maybe you simply hadn't looked at that scan in the previous page and assumed that it was a just minor code? |

Difficult situation, however I can't help but notice the emissions inspection being disregarded in the discussion. The state emissions inspection is a real thing, monitored and tracked by the CBS service indicator along with a general vehicle inspection. It's not uncommon for technicians in non-smog areas to effectively 'disable' the indicator by setting the next inspection date a hundred years from now.
The CBS status is a separate scan from the stored fault code reading. For obvious reasons I can't say this was the only issue present, but a simple CBS-only scan may have in fact shown your emissions inspection due and the service advisor figured he would be doing you a favor by turning it off. It's not fair to accuse him of lying to you. |

Let's see what happened. You just joined the forum, and so far you've made 3 posts. Post #1: Asking the OP for the exact terms of resolution. Post #2: Denying any affiliation with BMW or Penske, by saying, and I quote, "that's what happens when you set out to publicise a problem by posting it on various sites on the Internet". Post #3: Deliberately questioning arguru's credibility, based on the fact that he found your very suspicious original post, well, suspicious. So.... who are you and what are you doing here? |
