Warranty - Null & Void due to modifications

[Bounce]

Warrington by any chance, halliwell jones, bunch of fucking amature fuckwits, jobsworth wankers that know fuck all.

Ive posted loads about the fuck ups they made and their attitudes, nearly twatted the head tech but he was hiding in the workshop.

(if not hj my rant was for nothing but I feel better:hahaha

Had a similar problem when they told me my warranty would not cover an abs sensor after "ON THE COMPUTER IT FAILED AT 196MPH, AND I HAD OBVIOUSLY BEEN RACING ON TRACK" according to the prick that phoned me. I asked if maybe the reason the abs logged as failed was maybe all the rest were reading 20mph when the light came on (I was doing 20mph) and maybe the 196mph was a faulty reading! Fuckwit. He said they would not honour the warranty. Quick visit to the service manager and all was well again, but I wont go back, EVER. I had an incident re the flap at an earlier date which they were completely wrong on too. WANKERS full stop.

Dont hold back Lawsy,say it how it is.:thumbs::thumbs::hahaha:

I invariably do

They replaced a viscous fan, less than 50 miles later it fucking fell off. They did not tighten it. Thats the main reason when I visited the service manager they backed down. As I reminded them of there previous fuckup which I had complained about. I'm sure I remember telling Bromers not to use them when he visited our garage once. ?


Murketts for me now, its a trek but I know.........

A) theres no jobsworth wanker deciding if my airfreshener hanging from the rear view mirror has invalidated my warranty

and

B) the jobs done right:thumbs:

[shane@mbtech]

lol, how did he think an m3 would hit 196mph?

Thats exactly what I said, I told him 175mph max, his response was "well I have been on to BMW motorsport this morning who said it would do 183mph"

I then told him in a flury of swear words how the fuck could I be doing 196mph then?

As I said Nathan, Fuckwits of the highest order:banghead:

[shane@mbtech]

I haven't given up hope yet!

On a tow rope behind a veyron maybe:hahaha:

Unless the modified part has effected the part that has gone wrong, then they have to warrant the problem. Thats what i thought!?

My car went into 'slow down' mode on the motorway on my to work, came off at the next junction and it was fine again. Did the same on the way home and engine management light came on.

Drove it to the dealers, workiing fine apart from running a little rough. After 4 weeks they had replaced 2 DME control units, iginition packs, an actuator and a sensor. Car still wouldn't go so a week later, they then find out no compression on two cylinders - 2 pistons have gone and cylinder head needs replacing. Car had been hooked upto Head Office for a few days and then this week they came back and said warranty invalid because it had had an non standard exhaust fitted at some stage (was noted on the last service).

Car's been with them 8 weeks now. Still a slight hope of some goodwill - car's done 28k - full BMW service history (every 12-18 months).

Does anyone think a Milltek backbox (probably on the car for 3 yrs) could have caused all of the above faults ???

No... I don't think it could have caused _any_ of them.

Was it remapped, or could it have had a map that you didn't know about ?

I'm feeling for you Bromers.

Hope it gets sorted. Maybe give Andy Pressland a call at Murketts there isn't much he doesn't know about CSL's and the warranty he will point you in the right direction i'm sure. :thumbs:

[Mark CSL]

BMW are just trying to get out of a big bill if you ask me the backbox would never do any damage to the engine.

But the warranty we all have now does say no madifications so if they dig there heals in there is not much you can do but if you keep at them and i would also tell them you changed the back box as soon as they made you aware it was not the 1 for the CSL :whistle:

[grumps]

Why don't you talk to milltec and see what they say! And in all the years i've been working on cars i've never had a problem with a modified exhaust causing engine failure unless the monolith breaks up! And one more thing how do bmw sell modified cars and warranty them! as when i was buying mine i found a few dealers selling with warranty and retro fits ; Exhausts,suspension and brakes, Might be worth checking the dealers forecourts for upgraded cars.
P.s Don't yeild! and good luck.

[Kev.H]

really feel for you hope it gets sorted

Forgot to add, that they think the piston has hit the spark plug and caused it to break up.

How could that happen ?

The backbox made the pistons more horny, they expanded and ... crack.

The general term for this is called Sci-Fi.
