Hi guys,

My BM is due for an MOT imminently and I've got some fault codes that need checking out although I suspect all is fine.

I have an '05 530d Sport.

Recent warnings include:

Safety belt tensioners
Emissions

And also my telephone / bluetooth has stopped working - says it isn't installed or something to that effect. But it is?

Any recommendations would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

James.

    Hi James, welcome to BMWOC...

    For stuff to not be recognised or not work then I would suspect a connection fault UNLESS the battery has been disconnected which would effectively reset some things OR she's been plugged in and messed with lol

    As for MOT, most garages (even the small ones) will have a fault code reader/reset device either via laptop or simple handheld ;)

    Thank you.

    Yes, I suspect the something has happened with battery coming loose. As had a new battery fitted 4-5 months ago but last couple of months I've had a battery drain warning so perhaps the fault codes are all interlinked?

    Aahhh, the dreaded "BMW Drain"... Tighten any and EVERY "Earth" connection you can find (even the ones you can't lol)...

    Usually the stereo or heater resistor under the dash... Many, many topics on battery drain buddy ;)
