trust n reliability

Re: trust n reliability

Kenntonna,
am I ranting in this forum?

Mods were done in a few places, ignition upgrade at R2D may probably is the culprit as all others not involve engine related. Unfortunately I dont hv R2D contact, so when things happen 1 after the other, u just simply wish u have not modded anything n go back to PML to claim. By the time I got online n serach for R2D contact, n sms for apptm but I cant wait til another day or another night, so I try afew shops n finally one of them solve it. Diagnostic shows cyl 3 mis-firing. Change coil n problem solved.

Its not an endorsement which you say I am trying to make, its a thank you post to someone I met here in this forum that offer his help.

It sounded just like a ranting to me, and it appeared to be taking a swipe at many people here for not responding when you posted "unlike others, who pretended to know all things." A lot of forumers would be able to help had the initial wobbling post been more detailed.

Read again:

this morn, my car wobble and also sound as though I had super turbo in my E60

wife complained so much that I shouldnt hv done mods, here n there :screwedu:

what happened to my car? why so sway!?

The details of the problem surfaced only today - one day after you posted for help.

]these times, getting trust & reliable person to solve yr problems are hard to come by :argue:

But more of when yr E60 falls sick, you call or sms him, he responds even when he is busy or overseas. He has sharp teeth (or tongue?) but he doesnt bite back.

For, he help solve my problem, unlike others, who pretended to know all things.
Its best to be sincere as integrity at stake.

For his help, I salute you, Shark Wil! You the man, when it counts!

If the problems were suspected to have been caused by R2D, the logical way would have been contacting Rod/Nadia and approach them for a diagnosis. I understand your anxiety, even when Rod/Nadia could not reply/respond to you in a short time, but that's no reason to jump the gun.

BTW, what time did you SMS Rod for appointment?

Re: trust n reliability

The ignition upgrade will not cause your coils to fail. I have done this mod in my previous ride (E46) and nothing happened. However, I have changed three of the coils in my current ride (E60) which is not modded. My car is completely stock fyg. From my understanding, this is quiet a common problem for the E60 model and even the E90. There are a couple threads relating to this problem. Don't take my word for it. Go do a search yourself.

Re: trust n reliability

My ignition coil kaput at 26k, so I also tend to believe it is a reliability issue.

Key thing is, the problem can be resolved.

Hi JLMC (Jack)

Let's clarify a few issues :-

1. Yesterday at 12:14pm, you smsed us saying that in 2009, you've installed the ignition upgrade and now a diagnosis showed cyl 3 NOT firing. I replied asking whether it's NOT firing or misfiring. At 1:15pm, you replied "MUS firing, according to report".
2. I assume you meant misfiring so at 1:27pm, I replied you "possible coil or plug". Even though the ignition upgrade was installed years ago, it is our in-house mod and will still warrant it. Unfortunately Yesterday we were closed due to family commitments and thus asked you to drop by tonight at 8pm instead. After which no answer from your end.
3. Finally 3-4 hours later, you replied saying that a friend has helped you with the problem.
4. After you changed your coil and that solved the issue, does it mean that stock cars won't have failed coils?

Cheers

What other things went wrong beside the coils? Does it mean replacing the 3 faulty coils solved all the other problems?

Re: trust n reliability

talk about reliability --> one thing that i have learnt is bmw oem/stock part failing rate is "high" even for the 1st 3 years.

i just claimed warranty for windscreen washer pump last week (irrelevant to wobbling)

1. Yesterday at 12:14pm, you smsed us saying that in 2009, you've installed the ignition upgrade and now a diagnosis showed cyl 3 NOT firing "AND I ALSO SAID I URGENTLY NEED YOUR HELP TO CHK IF THE E-CAP MAY HV FAILED". I replied asking whether it's NOT firing or misfiring. At 1:15pm, you replied "MUS firing, according to report".

YES

2. I assume you meant misfiring so at 1:27pm, I replied you "possible coil or plug". Even though the ignition upgrade was installed years ago, it is our in-house mod and will still warrant it.

Jack- the sms reply say "tomo 8pm" not tonight 8pm, which I worried "what if car break down?"
since I cant grasp the issue myself, hence I start looking for alternate answers n help.

3. Finally 3-4 hours later, you replied saying that a friend has helped you with the problem.
4. After you changed your coil and that solved the issue, does it mean that stock cars won't have failed coils?

I wont be able to reply this.

Hi R2D,
nothing against yr product, I just want to thank the people who helped me when it matter. However, some posted that I clarify in details, and so I did.
it happend a few weeks before when my car stall halfway on main road, car was jerking, n stalled. Re-start quickly n move towards side, with bus horning you..
and now it happened again, although symptoms slightly different, car can drive but very vibrative, scan ard my contact list..check friends, ask ard old mechanic, call yr phone no answer, sms to you, finally gone down to a previous shop I knew many years back n he diagnose it n gave me his computer printout that says "cyl 3 mis-fire"
so i cant wait, hunt ard, make a few more calls, and finally solved problem. After which I replied to you
My instinct is same as most drives, is it bcos the e-cap fail now? I hope not. Thats why I call yr mobile n sms to you. I also wonder "was it bcos I change engone oil?" very unlikely, my old mechanic said.

Still could not understand the logic of using the strong language on R2D in the beginning of this thread......"unlike others, who pretended to know all things."

And "Its best to be sincere as integrity at stake." ???

I am sorry, but I cannot see the logic of insinuating R2D using those words when Nadia has already made an appointment with you........

 

[kenntona]

Re: trust n reliability

My point to make - as much as you felt appreciative to the one who helped you (you have all the rights to blow trumpets and sings praises), you should clarify on the rationale of this post. After R2D's reply, my take is that the first post was directed at R2D (and not the forum), and hence should perhaps be apologetic for those words you have posted, directly or indirectly, against R2D.

when I said unlike others, I meant some other workshop, not R2D
That shop that handle my other issue recently pretended to know alot but didnt solve my problem.

Finally I get it... The strong words are for R2D in this case... Initially I tot its for forummers who did not responded in time to help TS, it prompts me as we are not full time helpdesk agents ler... Even Mods are not online all the time... I can understand how TS is felt then about the problems... But R2D has a business to run... Must give a reasonable time for R2D to respond and R2D did mah... I don't need the need to use such strong words...

Hi Kenntona, dont hv to be sorry.
there's no logic if you want to insinuate something or someone.
Nadia made an apptm, and I had replied with a word "thks my fren help solve the problem already"

thats alot of mis-read info in my post, so I wish not to continue this discussion.
thank you all for reading my post.
