E39 Wheel sensor help please

I didn't want it fitted Mike, I wanted it coding.

Just a simple service, code this to my car please, Kerching, £108.00 in the till, job done.

I cannot code it myself, I don't have the equipment.

The car has done over 300 miles since coding, all ok so far.

As I said, I will write this all up properly, with all the contacts etc, when I get back from holiday.

One extra point, those with these cars may be interested in is, it's probably better not to have an early unit repaired, these units have been upgraded to euro 3 fail safe, the early ones are not fail safe.

With a later unit, should it fail, you just revert back to normal braking and lose your speedo, as a brand new unit is only £339, that has to be the sensible option.

I don't think a disclaimer is unreasonable in the circumstances but in this case it highlights the pettiness and unhelpfulness of the dealer in not entertaining such a route.

This is something I hadn't experienced before, it took me by surprise to be honest.

I am so dissapointed I will write to the dealer principle, I'll let you know how exactly he tells me to take a running jump !
