      2016 F30 330e Drivetrain Error Repair Estimate @BMW

      By lanesra14 · Posted

      Hi all, hope you can help. I've received a £4k repair estimate from the main dealer after my 2016 F30 330e developed the dreaded drivetrain error. The qoute is for a replacement cell module and associated labour and various bits and bobs to get it done. I initially had them investigate the issue when it first popped up a year ago. They replaced the auxillary battery which 'fixed' the issue for a few months before returning. Last Novemner the issue escalated to 'Battery not charging' which would clear after powering off the car , and disappear. Took it into the dealer and they diagnoised a faulty high voltage battery under the boot but could not do any work as they needed to schedule more cars for this 'specialist high voltage work'. So they said I could continue to drive the car until they got in touch when the car could be booked in for repairs. Roll on to April, the issue became severe (battery not charging error not going away, car in limp mode one morning) and car completly died at a traffic light same day (dashboard flashing all over the place), couldnt engage in 'Drive' and had to be recovered by AA to the dealer. Turns out car was now only running on the 12v battery in the boot and that had run flat as the hybrid function had stopped working altogether. My question is whether this is a reasonable estimate. Could this be done cheaper elsewhere? The dealer has servived this car from new hence took it them in the hope they'd not point fingers at any other party. Should I be paying for this at all since I raised the issue with them before it escalted and resulted in a now expensive fault? I also suspect the KLE may have gone too based on other posts, but the dealer hasnt qouted for that yet. I worry they'll' 'discover' that after I've already shelled out for a new cell module and end up lumbered with another bill to replace the KLE. Feels like I know about what they need to do than they do. The Service Advisor has been completely useless. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

      Thanks Dave, that all sounds clear to me. In terms of avoiding PCNs, I'm not sure if I can. I need to be able to park in that spot, especially as I've got kids to lug forth and back for the school run. Likewise it's not always possible to use the MA's permit system either, as I've not always got them to hand. So, if I'm actively avoiding PCNs, then it could mean I've given in to their idiotic rules. But, I do get what you're saying, as I imagine the risks go up if they claim there are multiple PCNs to be paid at court. Not sure what to do with this one.

    • Big Motoring World Enfield /Blackhorse - done over on car - @BigMotoringWrld

      ATJ posted a topic in Vehicle retailers and manufacturers,

      Hello,

      On 15/1/24 booked appointment with Big Motoring World (BMW) to view a mini on 17/1/24 at 8pm at their Enfield dealership.  

      Car was dirty and test drive was two circuits of roundabout on entry to the showroom.  Was p/x my car and rushed by sales exec and a manager into buying the mini and a 3yr warranty that night, sale all wrapped up by 10pm.  They strongly advised me taking warranty out on car that age (2017) and confirmed it was honoured at over 500 UK registered garages.

      The next day, 18/1/24 noticed amber engine warning light on dashboard , immediately phoned BMW aftercare team to ask for it to be investigated asap at nearest garage to me. After 15 mins on hold was told only their 5 service centres across the UK can deal with car issues with earliest date for inspection in March ! Said I’m not happy with that given what sales team advised or driving car. Told an amber warning light only advisory so to drive with caution and call back when light goes red.

      I’m not happy to do this, drive the car or with the after care experience (a sign of further stresses to come) so want a refund and to return the car asap.

      Please can you advise what I need to do today to get this done. 
       

      Many thanks

    • Post in Suing a parcel delivery company when you don't have a direct contract with them – third-party rights Copy of judgment available

      BankFodder posted a post in a topic,

      We have finally managed to obtain the transcript of this case.

      The judge's reasoning is very useful and will certainly be helpful in any other cases relating to third-party rights where the customer has contracted with the courier company by using a broker.
      This is generally speaking the problem with using PackLink who are domiciled in Spain and very conveniently out of reach of the British justice system.

      Frankly I don't think that is any accident.

      One of the points that the judge made was that the customers contract with the broker specifically refers to the courier – and it is clear that the courier knows that they are acting for a third party. There is no need to name the third party. They just have to be recognisably part of a class of person – such as a sender or a recipient of the parcel.

      Please note that a recent case against UPS failed on exactly the same issue with the judge held that the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 did not apply.

      We will be getting that transcript very soon. We will look at it and we will understand how the judge made such catastrophic mistakes. It was a very poor judgement.
      We will be recommending that people do include this adverse judgement in their bundle so that when they go to county court the judge will see both sides and see the arguments against this adverse judgement.
      Also, we will be to demonstrate to the judge that we are fair-minded and that we don't mind bringing everything to the attention of the judge even if it is against our own interests.
      This is good ethical practice.

      It would be very nice if the parcel delivery companies – including EVRi – practised this kind of thing as well.

Here it is.

 

The figures from June 2006 are the figures that HSBC have sent. The APR is an average of the "Effective APR" that they have sent me on their Transaction Summary.

Thanks again DX.

 

Here's a copy of the letter of my counter claim - Have I included everything, or am I missing something (names/ addresses/ numbers omitted for the obvious reasons!)?

 

"Dear Sirs,

I am writing in response to your letter dated 11th September 2012 where you offered a revised amount in regards to my PPI complaint.

After reviewing the information I have since received in my Data Subject Access Request, I feel that your offer does not take into account compound interest at the credit card rate since my Cardholder Repayment Plan came into effect in May 2002.

As data is unavailable prior to 18th May 2005, charges for the Cardholder Repayment Plan are taken as a monthly average from the available date for use from 6th May 2002 to 6th May 2005.

The interest rate is taken as an average of the effective APR rate supplied in the transaction summary that was supplied to me.

I therefore request a refund of the following:

1: Cardholder Repayment Charges = £358.89.

2: Compound interest at 22.87% = £1362.73

3: Simple interest on the above amounts from 17th June 2011 to date = £183.84

Total =£1905.43

I enclose a copy of the spreadsheet detailing the charges, a copy of the transaction summary showing the effective APR rates and also a copy of the FOS Questionnaire that was previously been submitted to you in my initial claim.

I look forward to hearing from you soon

Yours sincerely"

An update: it appears that HSBC still don't like responding to letters! I've now fired off a letter to the Company Secretary giving them 7 days to play nice or it will be time for FOS involvement.

 

here's hoping I can get this resolved soon!

Finally a response, and not the one I was hoping for. HSBC are refusing to increase the offer. Time to take this to FOS!

 

Even more entertaining, two letters from the same person (Suzanne Rogers) one dated 12th Dec saying they weren't going to increase the offer, another dated 17th Dec saying they were looking into it!

 

The mind boggles!

Claim is now in the hands of the FOS. Here's hoping it gets resolved well within the 12 months they advise this could take!

An update, although it seems HSBC can't keep figures straight. Their new offer seems to be £40 more than previous and nowhere near the £1905 that I've calculated.

 

Again, their new offer doesn't have a rate of interest just a seemingly random number.

 

I'm guessing it's a matter of negotiating now, should I go through HSBC direct or deal with FOS?

 

Any thoughts?

Thanks DX, the other part of their letter amused me too. Apparently under the 2007 Money Laundering Regulations they want me to go to my local branch with ID before they will release payment!

After asking HSBC for a full detailed breakdown of how they came to their calculations, they've kindly sent me a long rambling letter about how they use the data and that their calculators are verified by the FCA. All they've sent me is a list of PPI payments I've made with no information on the rate of interest etc.

 

Any idea's on how to get this information?

Finally had contact from the FOS. Frustratingly they've agreed that HSBC's calculations are correct. So now just waiting for the updated offer.

Have they agreed that you were missold?

If so you might want to investigate a small claims. And then *Maybe* Interest in restitution

They've agreed that I've been mis-sold, just a difference in figures from my calculations to theirs.

Maybe Andy or one of the others could advise you on a small claims then. If you have it in writing they missold you then im assuming (and its a big IF) that the fact they have admitted to unlawfully taking your money you could argue for interest in restiitution say 24.9% api compound interest.

 

I have not seen anyone doing this though

we certainly know that the likes of Barclaycard and cap1 do pay restitution when court papers arrive usually

 

might it be an idea to use the FOSRUNNING sheet

to see if that gets nearer?

 

don't forget our methods are only a guideline as such.
