OIL LEAKS & CHECK ENGINE LIGHT

THE OWNER OF A BMW SENT US AN EMAIL ASKING ABOUT OUR SHOP AND CAN WE

DIAGNOSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT THAT IS ON IN HIS 745.   OUR REPLY WAS YES.

HE MADE AN APPOINTMENT FOR US TO PICK HIS CAR UP IN NYC.   WE COLLECTED  IT FROM

THE PARKING GARAGE. THE NEXT DAY WE CHECKED THE BMW E65 AND FOUND THAT IT HAD SET A LEAN CONDITION CODE, BUT WE NOTICED MANY PARTS WERE CHANGED ON THIS CAR .

AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE OWNER OF THE BMW WE FOUND THAT HE HAS BEEN CHASING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FOR 6 MONTHS & $1800.00 DOLLARS LATER HE STILL HAS THE LIGHT ON .

AFTER  BAY DIAGNOSTIC DID A COMPLETE SYSTEM DIAGNOSTIC, WE FOUND THAT THE ENGINE HAD A SEAL LEAK AT THE ALTERNATOR BRACKET GASKET. ( VERY COMMON ON BMW 5, 6, & 7 SERIES )

AFTER TALKING TO THE OWNER , WE FOUND OUT THAT HE HAS BEEN SEEING OIL ON THE FLOOR FOR ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME AS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON.

SO AS THE TITLE READS YES AN OIL LEAK CAN CAUSE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON.

WE REPAIRED THE OIL LEAK . CLEANED THE UNDER SIDE OF HIS BMW 745 AND RETURNED IT TO HIS GARAGE IN MANHATTAN.

RE DOES YOUR BMW LOOK LIKE THIS?
