Brake Fluid Service (F90M5)

[Burnsey]

Anyone know if the dealer needs to remove wheels for this?

Two year brake fluid service and at under £100, can't see them doing much to be fair!

I would imagine so to bleed them.

Thanks.

Wheel stud bolts have a dedicated tool and need to be torqued correctly, so no doubt supervision will be required...

Hi, when I had my M4 in to have the wheel speed sensors done under warranty, the moment I got it home I went to put the wheel spacers back on and the wheel bolts where done up so tight, it split my socket and I had to get the rest off with a long breaker bar!!

A mate just had a wheel kerbed when in for a service!

Every time one of my cars have gone into a main dealer its come out worse than it went in.

Yep!

No power tools and torque settings, plus spacers etc, etc. Dreading it.

110 to 120 Ftlb is about right for wheel bolts. Are you taking the spacers off before going in, I would advise that !

Mine where obviously gunned up and the danger is stressing and stretching the bolts.

Main dealers can be funny about wheel spacers being fitted.

They've taken my pants down on previous services and they've always been on, so it will be fun to see them moan about it this time.

Mine got done last year (have the receipt for it). Given what they charge, I'd be amazed if they take the wheels off.

That's why I asked - under £100.

Thanks Paddy.

Did you comment on FaceAche?

If so, there are two F90's in the town!

Which dealer did you use?

 

[Paddy1975]

Had to use a main stealer as it was tied in with end of warranty check, use Sytner west midlands

 

[Burnsey]

Just to conclude this,the wheels were not removed.

Thought as much. It would probably double the cost!
