I have a 2011 club s with 4000miles on it. This afternoon when i started the car i got a Light on the tach with a engine symbol...It wont go away unless i push the button on the blinker controller....Now i have done some mods to the car like the DOS Cai and the way motor works performance blow off valve..here is the link WMW Performance Blow off Valve - Way Motor Works But both parts have been in the car for over 400miles now... I was just wondering if anyone else has got this light on there cars and what it ended up being... I guess i didnt explain the light very well...But its in Yellow of course and it looks like a engine block..with half of the inside of it colored in...
Not alot of details to go on here. First comes to mind is that it will probably go away. 2nd is that it is under warranty, take it in if it doesn't go away Overall good idea to get yourself of OBDII reader
Knowing the codes would help a lot. A local Autozone would be helpful in reading codes or if you tell us where you live maybe a fellow M/A member can assist in the code reading.
Thanks for the responses..Sorry i dont have any other details. car was fine when i parked it lastnight....I updated my sig..
i would have a local autoparts store scan before you take it to the dealer, if they decide that one of your aftermarket parts is the culprit then it can cause you some serious problems later down the road. you can get a generic obd2 scanner for $40-60 i strongly suggest it
The only codes that we've seen from the DoS CAI are from when a customer gets a little too enthusiastic with the K&N recharger oil after cleaning our filter element, but this is easily remedied. Considering that you only have 400 miles on the parts, you probably have not cleaned your filter yet (at least I hope not). Definitely let us know the codes once you've plugged-in a scanner to your OBDII port. The M/A community and DoS wants you code-free. -Clint
Well just got back from the dealer...And they said it was a Intake sensor that went off..So of course they blamed the CAI....They said they saw nothing wrong with the car and dont really know why it through a code..Except the Aftermarket Cai.....So we will see if it throws another code.. Hey got the codes..Here they are Exactly worded on Dealer work order 29DC AND 2C58 stored in DME for charge air temp sensor Plausibility. Aftermarket Intake System installed. Possible cause of fault is key cycled during installation of intake system causing faults to occur. At this time faults were cleared.
Ahh . . . BMW Codes, not "P" codes. 29DC = Cylinder injection switch-off: Short circuit or signal interruption 2C58 = Charge-air pressure control, deactivation: charge-air pressure buildup disabled These codes are fuel system and charge air pressure control/regulation problems downstream of your CAI. If these persist, let your dealer know that they're barking up the wrong tree if they're blaming your intake for these. Best, -Clint
it could but you said you had it on there for a little while so probobly not. just double check you connections make sure everything is A-OK and see if it comes back
:mad2:If you go in there not understanding what your service advisor is talking to you about, that can be the case.:mad2: An inexpensive code reader is an important tool to have -- especially once you start modding. It can save you loads of time and trouble at the dealer. Best, -Clint
.....rip a 20% off Harbour Freight coupon out of a magazine and run down and get one. They don't have the exact BMW codes but they can give you enough info to head you in the right direction. 2cents
Thanks for all the help...I will get the gauge yall recommend....Funny thing is i use to have a scangauge in my 08 clubman but i have lost it somewhere....:cryin:
At the mini dealer again for the second time. Again check engine light on-fuel pump. I bought the car 2 weeks ago-New. Dealership said they reset it last week-something MUST be wrong. The dealership is so nice, apologist. I'll post the outcome.
Mini repaired it and a week later happened again 3 weeks I bought a brand new mini clubman in the service center 3 times AAAAAUUUUGGGG!!!! I'll be there at the service center 8 am AND I better get some answers!!!!
