Yet ANOTHER trip to the dealer

E92Fan · 02-15-2008, 02:12 AM

FFS - I'm off to the dealer AGAIN today

Was a bit worrying when the car started 'bonging' and flashing lights at me whilst I was negotiating a long sweeping motorway slip road at more than a snail's pace

Prob just a wheel speed sensor, happened on my E90.

E92Fan · 02-15-2008, 02:24 AM

I'm thinking it's something like that - but then wouldn't that also affect ABS operation? Anyway, off to the dealer now...

tony your car is obviously f**ked, time for a trade in

330cdsport · 02-15-2008, 06:27 AM

I could sort out the 2nd one for you

Hope you get it sorted without too much hassle, but I am sure it is only the one component that is affecting all the problems (well apart from the 2nd one)

booforty · 02-15-2008, 06:42 AM

Shame Tony, you have been in the wars...

mjh93sa · 02-15-2008, 06:53 AM

Sorry to hear of the continuing woes Tony.

How does the wheel speed sensor or whatever it is effect the washer fluid reading through?

I think the check control system basically just 'queues' the messages stored.

Hope you get things corrected asap Tony.

roofer · 02-15-2008, 08:25 AM

That happened when i went on the wet handling day.

The system didn't know if it was having a shit or haircut, and threw a wobbly,all cured after a 10 minute rest though.

Is there anything you have not had your evil way with Steve?

beemerbird · 02-15-2008, 02:42 PM

Tony, admittedly I know sweet FA about LSD's, but could having that fitted have anything to do with the recent faults?

Right ok then Steve, my thoughts were, that on some Range Rovers, specifically those produced when BMW owned the Rover Group, when a quaiffe LSD was fitted, problems arose with traction control systems etc. This fault was cured apparently by removing the driver 'aides'.

So there mate.

Makes a pleasant change to meet a MAN who can admit his faults, and a Lancastrian at that - double whammy

Works on a DXB too. Much better without the nut that holds on the steering wheel. He is probably better trying to get into that top twenty essex photo listing

Serjames · 02-16-2008, 04:37 AM

by the way Tony was busy last night with robert, so I thought I;d post and let you know it's all sorted. Some sort of BMW gremlin.

Codes cleared and the mad chinaman was back on his way!

mjh93sa · 02-16-2008, 08:57 AM

Good news though.
