| Gasoline Fuel System problems |
Every time I fill up my car, the check gas cap light comes on. As I drive, it goes off but then will illuminate again. I check it and nothing appears to be wrong but as I drive, I do notice that the gas needle will move up and down.
The intake boot between the mass air sensor and the throttle body cracks over time. This causes the check engine light to come on. Even though this is a known failure item, and the car is within the cpo warranty period, BMW does not cover any hoses or tubes, as they believe they are "wear" items. Since it is not covered its a $175 dollar diagnostic fee and $38. 54 for the part vs $50 deductible. You do not know if your repair is covered until the diagnostic, so short of having to take it to another mechanic to have it checked you could be penalized $125 for wanting you car repaired under the extended warranty which you paid extra for.
