Hi guys.
So havent posted much, still need to get some decent pics loaded up of the 335i so i can show her off.
Havent done anything with her as ye. but yesterday i had her booked in at JSN to check software update, which they did.
My reasons:
1. Launch Control not working (found a thread online that Kish started about my vehicle at the time and that it not working even back then, so something is up)
http://www.bimmerboost.com/showthread.php?82176-E92-DCT-launch-control-not-working
2. Was getting an intermittant slight surge at low speeds in the lower gears when cruising at partial throttle.
the Technician took a drive with me, (he drove), tried every combination of the launch control, even phoned friends etc and still it didnt want to work. (Initially JSN told me that the pre-facelift 335i didnt come with LC. then after telling them mine is DCT, they were skeptical, but their technicians confirmed it should have.)
the Guy who drove my car told me it could be software related, especially the surge, as well as him pointing out that when i come to a stop, the rev counter goes to resting position, but then gives a slight blip of 300-400rpm then settles finally.
also said that the car has a slight pulsing when idling.
He said that this is all down to Software, and that i should book it in.
So needless to say, the Software didn't correct the LC. i haven't felt the slight surge, but i only just got the car back. (Jaime was my Service Consultant at JSN, and honestly didnt like his attitude, almost like he was doing me a favour.)
I was told by Carlo that the Reprogramming would be around R900, but when i collected, i was given an invoice of R1600 by Jaime, saying that the R900 estimate was diagnosis only, and not the actual job. i told them im not paying for that, as i was told a rate, and thats what i will pay, to which his immediate response was "Sure no problem".
Anyway, Jaime also said that they wanted to keep the car and run diagnostics and troubleshoot that the car is not boosting as it should (i know its not as i have wastegate rattle, and the wind noise when spooling), i said no its ok, as i know about it, and thats next times issue. as they wants 2k to look at it before doing anything on the motor. they said this is why the cars launch control doesnt work as the car needs to get full boost for LC??
I was given a rough estimate of R39 000 to replace turbos on my car (including the Turbo exchange, he even referenced @osiris car coming in for the Turbo replacement, and said that my rate is an out of Warranty rate so will be 20% more expensive.)
So, needless to say, i wont be doing much else at JSN, or a BMW dealer unless i really have to.
My next priority is Turbos, and getting the Rattle repaired, and making sure the boost is contained and running correctly. as the car feels smooth to me, and well powered, but according to JSN, the car is not boosting right, and that when it is, i will definately feel the difference and "the car will scare me" according to them
So heres to hoping.
i will be using this thread for all my cars updates and things going forward thanks for reading guys.
