BMW ICOM A2 B C do well in the diagnosis of BMW vehicles

Recently a customer’s battery died the day after she picked up her car. She was convinced we had caused her battery to die. She told us her boyfriend knew about cars and told her,  "I suspect they cooked [overcharged] the battery." On front wheel drive vehicles the axle/differential assembly is located in the transmission axle assembly (transaxle). The differential fluid or oil in transaxles and axles should be changed as part of a preventive maintenance schedule.  It’s part of your transmission service.

Some four wheel drive vehicles require changing the axle oil every 30k miles. On other vehicles it’s every 60k miles or more. This service can lengthen the lifespan of your differential. Consult your vehicles handbook for your manufacturer’s recommendation. If you use your vehicle in extreme conditions then change it more often. In the photo above, the point of the arrow at the front differential is touching the cover.  This protective cover holds the oil in the cavity where the gears are.

BMW ICOM A2 B C do well in the diagnosis of BMW vehicles. My friend had bought one and make highly price of its quickness and accuracy. Because he is an auto enthusiast, he often uses some other obd2 tools and shares its experience with me. Thus I have a basic idea of BMW diagnostic tool and some repair and maintenance information. ICOM clones have plummeted in price. I remember paying twice that for a used OPS a few years ago. Please let us know how this thing holds up. If you do any flashing with it, I'd be super interested in your opinion of its stability.

If you suspect your suspension is going bad (perhaps due to one or more of the symptoms we mentioned above), try this simple test. With the car in "park," press down on the front of the vehicle with all your weight, "bounce" it a few times, then release. Do BMW ICOM A2+B+C again on the rear of the vehicle. If the car continues to rock or bounce more than 2-3 times after you release it, the suspension is wearing out. CnAutotool Shops has many obd2 diagnostic which can do only diagnostic work and do not sell parts or repairs may be able to give you an objective opinion about which repairs are necessary.
