Having issues with the DEF tank
Hey everyone, I know there are somewhat other topics on this but I wanted to create my own regarding my current situation.
I'm having crystallization on the heat shield in between my dual exhaust on my 335d - 2011. I think it's the def tank leaking as I get puddles of ammonia smelling liquid that dries into a white powdery crystallization type consistency. I called Irvine BMW as well as Sterling BMW and they say that only the active def tank is covered under the extended service bulletin ( 10 years or 120k miles) does anyone have any advice or insight for me? I want to make this into more of a performance car, is there a way to delete the DEF system to better get around the whole repair? At the dealership the part alone is almost $1100 if one of the tanks is not covered, plus about $2200 for labor. I'm new to the Bimmer world and don't know a ton about this. Also, where can k get my diesel tuned here in Cali? Can't seem to find anywhere or anyone reliable and credible. |

I was just in California on work travel for a few 335d's. Will be back sometime next year. That is correct that the active tank is covered but also if they say it needs a passive tank. Well by default, its covered also because its all one tank assembly. Feel free to pm me.

Update - Covered under extended warranty
Just an update. Had the SES light on for months. I got the active tank def pump replaced and there was another code that was found. There is a failure with the active tank and BMW Newport Beach will replace under extended service bulletin. FINALLY!
Time was ticking since I had until September 2021 before the extended coverage ran out. |

I have what you need up north about 300 miles... FREE wont ship
73k miles on the set up, Come get it before it gets recycled. The ABC repair is going to cost you roughly $1600 in parts(self Tune), another $2k in labor if you dont wrench yourself. You have two choices for tune, send your ECU in for "repair" or DIY 335dlci Can give you the true cost of ABC repair. I hope you get it fixed under warranty, but... it might be a fight. Quote:
