Re: E90 smoke coming out of bonnet.....

True, but then if you are facing the consequence of such incompetence, you may think otherwise e.g. If you can't brake in time.

Bill should be close to 2k as this is one of the top sponsor WS here?

But really, all your oil leak and brake issues can be rectified by any normally competent bmw WS.

That said, your previous WS is really, grossly incompetent and should go into a blacklist so others can stay far far away.

Like I told Seanskye, after yesterday i realised why the previous owner sold his ride after 18 mths! 1st went to a so called "well known" ws and kena chopped... after my 2nd experience with them.... i gave up....

further more after i found out how they do top overhaul..... kill me also wont go back...

Y i dont mention names is bcos of 2 possibilities, ws rily FT!!! previous owner ask for a quick fixed b4 his sold his ride to me... but it still voice down to the ws... will they do such things when a customer drive it and tell u to do a quickie cos he is selling his ride? wonders...

What was the name of the previous workshop again ?

What they did is downright unethical and dangerous.......

I wonder if they really replaced the VCG or if they just use glue to conceal.

The PCV and oil separator is a good catch ..... That is used to recirculate blow by gases back into the manifold. When it's clogged it may cause higher than usual oil consumption and in some cases pre-mature wear of the piston rings.

2 test can be done to test if the PCV is clogged -

- unplug the PCV hose and suck it. Some old timer mechs still do that. Very gross. I do not do that.

- start the engine, get a plastic bag. Open the oil cap. And put the plastic bag over it. If it does not suck the plastic bag in firmly then the hose could be clogged since the vacuum is not present. DO NOT let go of the bag and let it suck the bag in.

Then go to R2D to get it fixed pending how it is ......

Did you ask Rod about his oil catch can ideas ?

When they lifted my ride, u can assured that not parts in the undercarriage will turn rusty cos every parts is well "OILED" hahaha

Hi Casper77,

I agree it is up to the WS for a "Quick Fix"... Story of mine is common GB problem, solenoid need to change.. but the dealer ask the WS to just do an ATF change.. the WS refuse and insist on proper job to be done until BO PIAN the dealer do it for me.

It is the WS that make our ride so problematic and a lot of ppl thinks that BMW is a problematic car !

I Personnally think that we should start a list of BLACKLIST of WS that do unethical JOB and of cos with example like Casper77. This make every owner here know where to go and those blacklisted ws will not play play and chop chop us thinking that we are carrot !

Thumbs up for R2D !!

Bro Zincman, oh yessss.... ride is soooooo smooth now...

Yeah, another great job by R2D!!!

Bro Seanskye, totally agreed!! Kudos to R2D for the wonderful job!!!!
 
Re: E90 smoke coming out of bonnet.....

Well yes, but WS also have their profession, and reputation to upkeep.

I have no issues with any WS using FT, but their supervisor or manager should ensure QC before client car leaves the WS.

If they do quick fix and down the road, sometime happens, they are and should be liable. This is why several bros here is understandably furious, including myself after reading your brake calliper hanging loose thing.

That said, BMW.SG really rocks and glad you got all your issues ironed out.

Most if not all sponsors WS here also rocks! Not in cost though haha

Bros, the reason I don't mention names is that the invoice for the top overhaul was done in Mar 13. 6 mths down the road before the owner sold his ride to me, i told him to rectify the oil leak problem.. he claims that he brght it back to the same ws... true a not? I dont know... he might hve just bring it some where and get a quick fix cos he claims the ws rectify the leak FOC.

The only thing that pissed me off is after 1 week i took over the ride, i send back to the same ws for starter replacement they shld have notice the oil leak but i was not informed.:wtf:

Morale of the whole story, go to our forum site sponsor ws instead of some hear say very good ws... site sponsor ws has to uphold their reputation in the forum therefore they wont take risk to GLUE your engine...
 
Re: E90 smoke coming out of bonnet.....

On the 2 test I mentioned - it's for NA rides. Turbo rides will get some pressure there only under boost ......
 
Re: E90 smoke coming out of bonnet.....
