| Engine And Engine Cooling problems |
I got engine malfunction light on two separate occasions on my BMW; on each occasion the car was sent to dealership for repair to find that the upper and lower radiator blinds are at fault and this required replacement. The 2016 BMW 740i is equipped with a front grille where the vents are covered by blinds that open when the car is started and closed when the car is turned off allowed some time for warm air to come out of the engine compartment.
Active air flap fault, upper and lower actuator is not working and that is why engine is overheating. BMW has extended this warranty to 10 years/120k miles for 750 and 550 series manufactured up to Aug 2019. But they have not done that on 740 series. My vehicle has the same problem and should be covered under the same in order to avoid engine damage. Please advice the next step. The fault code are: p05a0, p05ae, p05a2, p059f.
