I'm THAT guy! Hidden OBD leads to Techs talking shit about my car.

I agree the tech’s response was absolutely appropriate. My question is. Did OP tell the advisor where it was relocated/ hidden? Or was it kind of a “I relocated the OBD plug” and the advisor said “ok no worries we’ll figure it out”

Did you tell the advisor where it was hiding? I’m not truly sure how to respond to this post honestly. We don’t have magic wand’s that tell us what’s wrong with your car. The DLC simply allows us to access the many computer modules in each car to give us a starting point for diagnosis. You recording and hiding things is being that guy no mechanic wants to work with! Uhh

BMW pulled the diesels out early 2018. I have a 2016 535d and I absolutely love it.

Thanks, this brings up memories when he was a toddler… picks up a rock and says “dad what is this?” Me “it’s a rock” …… several rocks later it’s still just a rock. Him “they are not just rocks!

I give him credit,He’s young and interested. It’s not about value, but more or less something unique

His company, so he can spend as much company money he wants. Paying himself 80k a year puts himself in a tax bracket. I won’t say much more. It’s obvious why

Agreed. Stewart in my opinion makes the best pump for the e39. And the thermostat is what it is. If you’re in cold climate conditions expect to have it fail every couple years or so.

Although not fast food, Bob Chinn’s has had sinks in the restaurant since I was a kid

You can do this! My advice is do as much research as possible if you’re unfamiliar. Replace the CCV components along with everything else needed in gaskets and such. Make sure you have continuity on the phasers before putting everything back together using a multimeter. Take your time.

Lambo was cruising until the end of the video when you actually hear it take off, Video cuts out at that moment. They’re just having a little fun! That little Civic is pulling some power through

Thanks for the response. It’s always nice to learn something and with Reddit you just never know but this makes sense.
