Hi, I posted this in the Peake sticky as well but as my beast is my daily driver and I need to get the parts she needs ordered for her I'm going to post here as well to get some more feedback...please help me out if you can :1zhelp:
Ok, I finally got a Peake FCX 3. I was going to get just an Innova 3100 like Bread said (I like it too!) but I realized one important advantage to the Peake- I'm keeping my M5 for the REST OF MY LIFE and this board is my primary reference for everything M5 and most of the members here have a Peake and when I used the Innova scanner and posted the codes here 1) I couldn't get any conclusive answers to my questions as to what the codes meant 2) I wasn't even able to pinpoint myself what the codes meant after days of research. But I see it all the time, somebody posts a Peake code and boom! 100% response and definitive answers :woowoo:
So I took my new Peake out, actually read all the instructions, checked my SES light, and got the numbers 16 and 71. Book says first number is not a code but the table you use, so I go to table 16, which in turn says "see table 11", ok, I go to table 11, code 71-not present! It simply is not there, I am so confused! I followed the directions, now what? So I go here to get some answers, and read "ignore all tables except table 18, that is the only one that applies to the e39"!!! What?!? My car and my book told me that I need table 16, so what's going on? Am I retarded? :eek7:
And if I do go by table 18, can somebody please ellaborate on codes 16 and 71 if they do really both count as codes please and what I need to replace...thank you very much! :byee55amg<!-- / message --><!-- sig -->
