Timing chain module cracked
I purchased the 2015 528i x-drive with 110k miles on it on 1/9/24. On 3/1/24 it broke down on the side of the road, just 7 weeks after purchase and had been driven a total of 978 miles since purchase. It had to be towed, and was taken to a BMW dealership. I was told that the engine bearing had failed and that the car would need a total and complete engine and turbo replacement if it was ever to be driven again. The car is totally inoperable.
The contact owns a 2015 BMW 528I. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, he smelled a burning odor through the vents. An unknown warning light was intermittently illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and diagnosed with coolant intrusion into the engine which caused the PCV valve to overheat. The contact was informed that the PCV valve needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 112,000.
Oil leaks engine compartment (all over) gaskets, oil filter housing , bottom of engine and bad smell enters to driver compartment even it is on inside circulation( oil burn smells,etc from engine dept)
Engine light on while in motion. Giving code fc 193208 stored in dme, just purchased the vehicle 8months ago, under warranty and this the second time it has happened. I believe the first trip was just a temporary repair to just reset the engine light. Now the engine light has been reset again and was told unable to repair.
