Does anyone know how long the fault codes stay in the system, as if this is an intermitant fault - how long have you got to get to the dealer for them to read the computer?
Just wondering, in case this ever happens to me.....

Just a quick note to add that was mentioned by BMW following repair of the car yesterday. You can turn the car on and off to clear the message but your car will not be level. It will slightly lean to the left, thats higher at the right (looking from the back) than the left. If you can find an indepentent BMW repair garage then the chances are they will repair your pump and not replace. This is because where the pipe leaks air,it is attached to the pump, the hose is an intrical part of the pump, but the leak can be stopped with a repair. The pump is ?650 here in the UK and the full unit is requried if replaced due to a little leak on one of the attached air hose.

Your codes are logged until cleared by the dealer when hooked up to their computer equipment. The pump is the main problem with this fault. Many people just restart their cars and the message goes but the fault is logged in the cars computer.
