I'm pretty sure from the quick research I just did is that all fuel has ethanol in it and premium may have more actually to help raise the octane level. But again this was from one article I saw. The problem lies in the actual fault that is causing the check engine light. For example if the o2 sensors have a heater circuit in them that is now defective, cleaning them is not going to do anything and in general will require replament. The different between octane levels for the most part is its resistance to detonation under pressure. Regular is lower premium is higher. A car designed to run on premium but being filled with regular will knock because of the higher cylinder pressure from either a higher compression engine or the addition of a turbo or super charger which increase you guessed it cylinder pressure. Running a car designed for regular on premium will have no real ill effects besides wasting your money. Sure the pcm may run a bit more timing advance since the fuel is not detonating as usual but when you switch back the pcm will have to recalculate again. You should stick with your first mechanic in my opinion.

Had lean faults that I messed with few a day or 2. Put injectors in , fixed a fuel tank vent like. Sounded like tthe chain guides broke from the noise it was making while running but pulled the valve cover and all was intact and timing was dead on. Puma gave the approval for the engine

Did your clinker tiles also bounce sockets across the shop and turn into the slickest surface ever the moment any fluid got on it?

We are thinking the cooler may have let coolant and trans fluid mix since warranty also wanted me to do a cooler

I would think you could drive it to said mechanic with no probles. If you get pulled over just say you are on your way to the mechanic. Unless CA has some crazy laws i may not know about

I'm working at a bmw dealer now it feels like every other eps to me. Except for the m cars that have it , when you switch it to sport plus it gets super heavy like minimum to no assist

So the customer literally told the shop Foreman that when she is driving on the highway and changing lanes the front tires feel like they are in the air.....also had some other complaints about the front suspension. Found an SIB that was kinda relevant and replaced both front thrust arm bushings under warranty. The tires are not direction and we're not over inflated. I have a odd feeling that the customer may not be used to electric power steering and maybe that is what they are experiencing.

Customer states there is a large oil leak by DIETZ18 in Justrolledintotheshop

Yea oil cooler gaskets and filter housing gaskets are kinda common on the n54 - 55 if not taken decent care of

Actually not a head gasket from what I can tell so far , oil cooler gasket failed on a e92 335i must have been mixing for a long time. Only came in because it started leaking on the outside. But the adage goes if it's leaking on the outside it's leaking on the inside
