Hi Cliff I believe you are spot on if there is no dealer code it wasn't a BMW Dealer so you have no proof other than an entry on the infotainment that it was done unless there a receipts with the paperwork As for brakes the problem comes from use eg. A high mile motorway warrior will cover huge distances between brake use/application so needing a change where as a School run car may use its brakes much faster, for me physical inspection is the only way Dave -

Hi Dave hope your well i mentioned it to the garage when u told me last time and they said they looked fine but when I looked in that rear compartment you could tell water had been in there im going back up there tomorrow to show them your post and just get them to sort them just to eliminate this problem as theve had the car roughly 9weeks and im over 1000 pound in on parts and labour -

4x4 abs ebv dsc failure
Morning Steven I actually posted pictures of the cause for K-bus faults The problem is in the boot mainly so the first thing needed is to fix the bus faults, only then will you be able to clear down faults and find the cause of the issue if indeed you have one. Then of course there is the uncomfortable conversation with the garage about who should pay for all the unnecessary works and component changes. So again In the pictures you can see cable splices in the main wiring loom in the boot the loom is located on the boot floor below the Fuse board in the right hand cubby you will need to remove a bit of trim to get to it BMW make these splice/joints by twisting and compressing the join then covering it with a clear plastic sleeve. Moisture gets in and the black stain you see through the clear plastic is corrosion. The pic Cable splices shows the K-bus on the left of the picture Yellow/green Orange with mine they just fell apart so I remade them with soldered joins and shrink wrap after digging I re-made all the joins you see in the pictures That is where you need to start Your Garage seem clueless show them these picture tell them that is where the issue starts and hopefully ends then they can clear the K-bus and you may have a chance of sorting any issues that remain. If the control units they have changed have not been registered to the chassis they may need doing but start with the K-bus Personally I would DIY so you know its done Dave -
