Going to the dealership...Advice needed

Catalina Wine Mixer · 09-02-2012, 04:42 PM

Taking my car to dealership this Thursday to get clutch replaced and brake pads changed I have Cobb ap stage 1 and my question is do I need to set it to stock map 0 or completely unmarry the device from my car. My car has some mods so I am afraid they will flag me and start looking for illegal performance mods that I may have done to my car while it's being serviced. Thanks

Play it safe and unistall the Cobb tune. Takes ~ 20 minutes.

I just uninstalled mine for a dealer trip on Tuesday. It's so easy, why not do it?

Uninstall...

Uninstall, don't worry about the mods unless you're getting something replaced under warranty that's directly related to something non-BMW installed on your car (ex: clutch getting replaced & you have a non-BMW SSK kit installed or a CDV Delete)

So your Cobb hand-held unit was fine after all?

Well it turned out someone had spilled water on it and when I went to plug it in it would start up and die I looked at the prongs and thought one was broken when it really it had some water damage i unscrewed the device and let it dry in the sunlight

Good move. When in doubt, take it out. That 20 mins could have cost you thousands in the long run.
