Could it be the gauge cluster? this has got to be really annoying, pal

PS I'm not a pro at this, but I'd say if you wanna kill someone silently, you just stay silent while you're killing him/her... A much wiser thing would be to make him/her live and fix the problem though - they'll be begging for a mercy kill by the time its done

o btw, its probably the fuel tank breather valve causing the error #1 http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?mo...;fg=15&hl=2

Ok, so, this has been going on for as long as I owned the car. Everytime my gas guage reaches 3/4 of a tank and 1/4 of a tank, the check engine light comes on. wait! I know what your going to say, make sure you are putting the cap on right. Well, I am. It only happens at 3/4 tank and 1/4 tank. I went to the dealer many times already concerning this. Now, my warranty is up and I still have the same problem. IT IS ANNOYING!!!

My wife took the car in last week and the dealer told her it was a wiring issue and had her fork up 100 Euros after "replacing" some wiring. Yesterday, the darn thing lit up again.

What I want to know is

1. What the heck could it be? Whenever they do a diagnostic it returns with nothing wrong.

2. Could the gas cap be faulty?

3. How do I silently kill my dealer?

4. Can this still be covered under warranty because they "fixed" it?


Thank you much

Put a piece of electrical tape over where the light is...
