Need help removing Turbo Tuner in OC

TrojanBMW714 · 06-26-2008, 02:40 PM

So this is my situation... I've had the TT for about a year. I'm cars been in the dealership 2 time. (oil change and noise from brakes) Both times, I've left the TT on... nothing happens.

However, last week, my car went into limp mode few blocks from my home. (Last Sunday with is was 100 degrees) I shut the car off and restarted it next morning. It's been a week and my car is driving fine.

I made an appt with the dealer and need to remove TT. I know it's easy to remove, but I also don't want to brake off the tab by accident. If anyone near Fullerton or Irvine can help, I would appreciate it.

Thanks.

Thanks for the offer. I'll keep that in mind.

Why are you going in if the problem hasn't come back? Also, search for the USB method of removal, seems to be the easiest.

I have to go in for a brake job anyways. I don't want it to happen again. SA told me that when it happens, you can only go 15mph... Hate for it to happen on the FWY or one of these late night coming home from LA.
