Yes, the front knuckles. There are two bolts that clamp the strut in the knuckle, and the rumor was that they were overtightened from the factory. When installing my camber plates, I explicitly worked around not loosening/tightening those bolts, out of fear of compromising any warranty claim against those parts. They knuckles are beautiful, and not cheap.

I have a GTS and brought it in for this issue as well. They ended up replacing the water injection valve block and filter as well as the swivel bearings on my car. Are the swivel bearings the same as the knuckle mentioned above?

I'll definitely have the techs take a look at this next time I bring the car in for service. Does anybody have a copy of the bulletin or service campaign? That always helps. Maybe it's in that other thread, I didn't look through the whole thing. Feel free to direct me. Also is this something I can see without removing the front wheels or lifting the car? |

I brought my car in for a check earlier today since the factory warranty is about to expire (though I did just extend it). I asked them to take a look at the water injection system while looking the car over. Sure enough, it was throwing the low water pressure code. Water injection valve block is on order but the dealer isnt sure how long it will take to arrive. The bulletin that covers the water injection block corrosion is ‘SIB 12 22 16’. |

Mine seems to be drinking water at a steady pace... I mark the tank with painters tape before every drive, just to see if it changes. Sure it does. The only thing I noticed today was that I didn’t hear the pump pushing water back after I turned off the engine. The drive was slow... didn’t boost it much at all, plus the outside temp was low 40’s. I don’t know if that means anything or if it’s normal.
Still have 10 days left of the warranty, so making sure it’s not broken again. This damn thing has me all paranoid about it. Ha!

Are you near enough to your BMW dealer to have them scan the car for you?

The water injection is working... I heard it pushing water back into the tank... and it's drinking when thirsty. So we're good to go on that part. Not going to worry about it anymore.
Let the warranty expire... I'm done being paranoid about the damn water injection system. It has the new block, it's spraying, HP is showing 500 something. I'm happy. Moving on, HA!

I do keep track of the water with a little Post-it note stuck to the side of the tank and a pen mark after every drive though. |

Ya I’ve got a new system so I assume it all works. Car is plenty fast so no worries either way. Have fun with it!

Bringing this thread back....I've definitely been concerned the water injection system seems off. I've been driving like a maniac but, it doesn't seem as if the water level drops at all. The system takes about 60 seconds to circulate after the car is turned off and im getting good numbers on the sport display.
The car seems to pull pretty well. My first track day with the car this weekend so I will see what happens then.

I'm going to inspect it on Friday during track prep maintenance. I just ordered the filter kit on ECS which was on sale for $29 plus shipping!
