Not chuffin happy
Not sure if i mentioned that my guage has gone the same way as many others with the same symptoms, It happened a couple of months ago but have been relying on the trip guage and looking in the tank and giving it a slosh about, but i've had enough now and decided to call BuMW customer services to have a moan about it, unsurprisingly the agent on the other end of the phone had not had any calls before saying there were any high failure rates of the sensor type fitted to a 57 plate GS, She aked if i had taken it to a dealer to be inspected to se if that was the fault and was i just guessing that was the issue so i told her the amount of reports of this part failing in a quite spectacular fasion were outstanding, so i asked if i take it to a dealer and have them instact it would they contribute to the replacement of the fault ridden badly designed usless bit of bent metal and all she could say was they can concider helping with either all or some of the cost ! that was a bit of a quick back down for some one who has never heard of this issue before so i decided to call Bahnstormer in Bracknell as this is the closest dealer to me and speaking to the guy in the service dept he ( although i will not hold him to this ) did agree that this part does seem to fail on a regular basis and they could approach BuMW for a contibution to cover the costs but alas the GS is tainted for me even if they do fix there not a chance in hell I will buy another Bavarian Motor Works product.
