Clucking and liquid flowing sound from 520i

[malcolmc]

this is actually a problem with air trapped in the climate control system, the problem can be solved by bleeding the cooling system

i have complaint to BMW Malaysia and they have asked me to send back to AB and which I will revert with the result. you can reach me at 0192893435 to know the status. cheers

tdy i sent my car to AB and they changed the valve and bleed the cooling system coz it form bubbles. the clucking sound and liquid sound apparently due to that. hope tomorrow when i collect my car this is resolved.

my323i,

Hi, thanks for the feedback and info.

Any update after the service? Did they manage to solve the problem?

I feedback to the Service Center in Melaka and they asked me to list down the problem when I send my car for 1st service.

my car has been in and out for the last 1 week at AB glenmarie. I shared the email add of Geofrey Briscoe MD of BMW Malaysia. you guys should send to him. They keep changing parts here and there but still not resolved. I spoke to the MD of AB Mr Dean Brigham and told him its a defective car from the minute i took delivery and they should replace the car. unfortunately this british dont care less. suggest all of us send same complaint to Dr Norbert Reithofer the Chairman of BMW Group Munich. Email norbert.reithofer@bmw.de or geoff.briscoe@bmw.com.my

Hi,

I also collected my 520i about 2 weeks.

I dont experience the sound you mentioned (there are some sound but near the climate control , mechanical sound perhaps controlling airflow etc) - perhaps go back and let them check.

I sometimes have my audio interrupted for a split second. Sometimes quite frequently. Do you have this issue?
Due back for them to check soon.

Hi bro, the audio interruption is probably cause by system hang of Idrive, i notice when the audio is gone for a second, if you press the menu it wont work.

Audio interuption

Hi, thanks for the heads up. But I dont think its that simple.

CIC has been replaced, TCU, antennas, and a whole lot of modules swapped and changed - still the same.

It is inteference and happens near cell towers or high tension cable.

Service centre know how to reproduce it already ( drive around, park, turn off engine, wait a few seconds , audio cut)

Apparently it is not isolated, it happens on a few other F10, and even their demo car.

BMW Malaysia is working hard on it - and I hope to hear a solution next week.

F10 is a sophisticated car, but the more sophisticated the more problems...

Back to the " water flowing sound" problems.
a friend of mine who purchase the CKD 523i also having the same problem
As usual, AB replied: is common and is a charateristic of the new F10!!!

He was damn pissed and wrote to BMW Asia, still to hear from him
