It's not a great situation, was the hose maybe a bit weak from age? Not really sure why they would have touched a water hose. Mine came back with one of the cabin filter housing tabs broken off, it was weak and hanging on by a thread, and despite me asking them to work carefully and not break anything, they managed to get that right. Note that I had been able to remove and refit this in the condition that it was in several times without breaking it. Also one of the screws holding it in place was either lost, or they decided to replace it with one that has a washer permanently attached to it. My OCD immediately spotted that, and luckily I had a spare original screw, so removed that weird anomaly and put things back as it should be, broken tab and all.

I would consider standing up for myself at this point and just speak up by asking them to cover anything that wasn’t broken before they got the car. If they have the nerve to put it on you then they are pushing you. Time to push back.
I’m starting to prepare for taking the car in soon. This is good information and what I might want to do before taking the car in. One question does the dealer have a problem with replacing the Eccentric Shaft Sensor with a non oem BMW brand? It looks like FCP has the VDO oe and I would much rather go with that to save money… |

That's BS. I would escalate. When they broke my CCV hose, they replaced it free of charge during the recall.

Ok then I think J’m just going to pull that ESS plug and inspect it for oil and then just make a decision based on my findings. I bet if that ESS was compromised the car would likely run bad all of the time and like you said it just needs a gasket to help it make good contact. We shall see! Thanks Three_Thirty_i 👍🏼. Also I pulled the oil pan and did the oil pan gasket like 9 months ago and if there were sheered bolts I would have discovered them then. The odds are worse case scenario the bolts might just be loose. I’m gonna stop overthinking it and just get it done. |
