Hope you’re sat down this is a long one
No drive condition BMW X1, clutch overheated warning on dash
BMW recovered to us from the main dealer, dealership advised replacement gearbox was required = ££££
Ran our own diagnostics, found lots of under voltage fault codes, battery charging at 15v, worn out battery? No new Bosch battery previously fitted but not coded, coded battery, voltage fault codes now gone.
Found transmission fault codes for clutch 1 & 2 overheated and oil cooler pump stopped unexpectedly.
Customer advised transmission oil has been recently (ish) replaced, suspect diagnostics was not used to correct clutch wear / various adaptions.
Attempted to adapt transmission, no dice still the same.
Dived deeper, found oil cooler pump seized, temporarily unseized pump, refilled with oil, we now have drive!
Brand new genuine oil cooler pump & motor kit fitted at a fraction of the price of a whole gearbox.
Adaptions carried out, road tested for 10+ miles, no fault codes, drives beautifully.
One very happy customer!! 🥳
