Attention N51 owners: VCG covered under SULEV 15yr/150k mile warranty
Just as an FYI, I learned today that the VCG and almost all other repairs that will set off the check engine light (things like coils, o2 sensors, etc.) are covered under the special 15yr/150k warranty that SULEV vehicles have (N51 engine). I had my car in for the PCV recall today and the dealer volunteered to replace my leaking VCG. I was astonished when they mentioned it'd be under that SULEV warranty as I was about to go to an independent shop to get this done. Just a heads up. Enjoy!

Only works if you are in a state that originally sold the SULEV model. I moved to Texas and no dealer would cover any of my various SULEV repairs. 8 months after leaving NJ the car sprung a hundred leaks. Oil pan gasket, VCG, OFHG. They were probably leaking before I left, but I didn’t think to check.

That said, it did take several days of diagnostics and two occurrences of the problem for them to commit to doing it, but I think this was more BMW NA's requirement, not the fault of the dealer. |
