paulh2602601 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 On Tuesday, I brought my vehicle in for a recall service, during which the airbag and exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) components were replaced. Over the last three days, I have been driving without encountering any problems. Today, the electronic mailing list (EML) was activated. Upon reading and resetting the passcode, the indicator light thereafter deactivated and remained inactive during the whole of the 8-mile ride. The illumination was restored once again. The issue has been resolved once again and has been absent so far. The fault codes retrieved from Bimmerlink and Torque are shown here. Is there any knowledge available on the potential causes of the defect or the specific areas that should be examined? The auditory perception seems to suggest an increased intake of air, however this observation may be subjectively influenced by my own imagination.

colinallcars Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Please consider returning the vehicle to the BMW dealership for further examination and any repairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulh2602601 Posted September 13, 2023 Author Share Posted September 13, 2023 I have arrived at the current location and conducted a brief inspection of the vehicle's engine compartment. It has been seen that an electric plug is not properly connected to the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system, and a sensor is not securely fastened in place.

colinallcars Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 The process of addressing EGR recalls is often expedited, resulting in a significant number of vehicles requiring further remediation work, as shown by discussions on the forum.

SD1too Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 The individuals in question exhibit behavior that may be characterized as unprofessional and disrespectful. It would be justifiable to request compensation for the additional time and effort used in revisiting their work, although personal inclination may deter one from pursuing such action. Nevertheless, it is imperative that they be held responsible for their actions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Needsnewtyres2 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 The lack of information on their workflow and quality control systems raises concerns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doncaster34 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Indeed?! Did they fail to thoroughly examine and rectify any potential oversights in order to verify that all necessary steps were taken to properly secure and fasten the button?

paulh2602601 Posted September 13, 2023 Author Share Posted September 13, 2023 I am experiencing a sense of dissatisfaction as I see that my time has been squandered, and I anticipate that further efforts to get any kind of benefit from them would also prove to be unproductive.

paulh2602601 Posted September 13, 2023 Author Share Posted September 13, 2023 It is well acknowledged that failing to attend to a single matter is undesirable, but the consequences of neglecting both of them are far more severe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulh2602601 Posted September 13, 2023 Author Share Posted September 13, 2023 Undoubtedly, the most concerning aspect is to the glaringly apparent nature of the errors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SD1too Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 That indicates a substantial air leakage. Was this the dealer that failed to properly install your oil filter? I empathize with your sentiments, as well as with the automobile in question, since BMWs often get unwarranted criticism about their reliability, mostly due to substandard craftsmanship that undermines their dependability.

DreamCatcher88 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 No, the individual in question is a distinct user. It is advisable to send an email elucidating the circumstances, since this kind of communication is likely to reach the individual responsible for overlooking the process.

SD1too Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Thank you for pointing up the error. I am uncertain as to why I mistakenly believed it was the same individual. It seems that my current perception of a lack of attention to detail may be attributed to a prevailing sense of substandard practices inside the dealership. I am unable to fully appreciate the manner in which the event transpired. It is quite likely that technicians employed by dealerships adhere to standardized checklists in their job. It is possible that the individual in question temporarily left their work station to have lunch and inadvertently neglected to reconnect the devices upon their return. There are certainly valid reasons to consider reporting this as a 'learning opportunity'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doncaster34 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 The prevailing attitude in contemporary times seems to be characterized by a simplistic approach to problem-solving, not limited to car technicians alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
