Fault code 048 "Converter lock-up excessive slip"

[theduke]

Bro "the duke" why not visit a shop in Batu caves, specialist in BMW gearbox. When I visited ZF Malaysia the sales manager told me this workshop is recommended for diagnosis and another in damansara I think. Let me dig out the name card....or any other CM's can recall the name?

Thnks Bro BB. I think the place ur refering to is called Mscope or sumthin. According to a fren they would quote around the same-7k. I'm lookin for sumthin less thn tht. Will b paying a visit to EH to check it out.

Most workshops surveyed- 8k plus. the cheapest and nearest I can find cost 7.5k.

Do you still have the contacts bro? I was quoted for a total rebuild. Everything new inside so they claim. Tqadv.
