What is weird is I left my OBD2 plugged in, told the SA to not unplug it, set to map zero and they did some diags to find a fault I was having. They fixed the issue. now, what they exactly did I don't know. but they never said they had an issue of any sort.
I imagine they would have said something because with the cat les DPs I would have thrown an error with it unplugged.

darge82, They were trying to find a fault for the phone home system. My SA did say they did plug into the OBD2. As far as what diag, sorry. I don't know.
As far as throwing a code. I agree that just starting the car has never thrown a code for me but I have gotten codes within 2 minutes of driving. Granted... that's a cold start 1 minute warm up and a 1st and 2nd shift between 3k and 4.5k. For a time I could almost predict it.

Isn't the surefire way to avoid any issues from the dealer just to remove it when in for service? It's not like your car is in the dealership on a regular basis for work.

BMW follows an identify possible part and replace ideology. Great when under warranty but can get very expensive and tiresome when not. How many times do you hear stories of guys going in for work and dealer says car is fixed and 1-2 days later its back for same problem and another part is replaced. Sometime they will replace 5 things while clearly only one is faulty.
Happens a lot. They just have a different rule book or checklist then most independent shops I have worked with as they almost always deal with warranty issues and warranty work is a whole different ball game then when customer paying out of pocket. I am obviously generalizing. I am sure there are some great techs at dealers but they may be handicapped by the system. Mike Last edited by Mike@N54Tuning.com; 01-27-2016 at 02:45 PM.. |

Dealers also expect vehicles to be in the same shape and form as they were sold. Aftermarket items can add variables to the mix, which takes time to troubleshoot. Make it easier on them and things are easier for you, techs love routine, not surprises. Techs get beat up on a lot but deserve a lot of credit for the things they're put through on a daily basis under constant deadlines. Since they're the ones on the front line, they're easy to blame.
