BMW Check Engine Light Due To Gas Cap Aftermarket Parts

Jun 18, 2009 23:21

A couple of weeks ago I received a letter from Jason, who was having problems with his bmw check engine light it was staring at him. He took it to a bmw mechanic shop which told him that he needed a pricey amount of work to replace a number of bmw parts in his EVAP system. Not completely convinced, Jason decided to wait a minute on the bmw repair to see if there was a different diagnosis, or to see if he could do the repairs himself to save some money. It looks like he did the right thing. After checking and rechecking all of the potential culprits, he realized that his oem bmw gas cap had been replaced at some point with an aftermarket locking version. He threw out the locking cap, replaced it with an original equipment bmw gas cap, and what do you know? No check engine light. This is a great example of somebody using their head to save a serious amount of money. Way to go Jason!
