Dinan SUCKS

dmetuning · 10-15-2013, 03:04 PM

Dealership called today and said they are replacing all of the spark plugs and testing all of the injectors to see if they need to be replaced. Lets see if they replace all of them or just the ones they claim to be faulty.

The Dinan is fixed and now it a BMW issue at this point. The car is still at prestige bmw, it has been there since last Friday and I still have no idea when it will be done. They replaced all the spark plugs and waiting on BMW NA to approve changing all the injectors. Remmember that I have a 2011 and even some 2012 F10s have these injector issues. Your 2013 has the new style updated injectors and hopefully once this is fixed we can hit the track again. I heard snow maybe for next week which would really suck.

I will let you know when I hear back from the dealer and most importantly, when I drive the car and confirm it feels good.

Got the car back. It's still only boosting only up to 11.3psi. I'm
officially done with Dinan.

I can't keep taking the car back and fourth to the dealer.

Moral of the story, Dinan sucks.

berkel · 10-19-2013, 01:05 PM

That sucks. Did they replace the injectors as well as the spark plugs? Maybe there is a boost leak or other "hardware" problem, assuming they can install the software correctly after so many tries, but no matter what a crappy situation...

Haven't done much more logging, but I'm still seeing 14 PSI peak with S3 (stock exhaust). If I get an exhaust, I may bump it up to stage 4 and try to get a little more boost.

They tested all the injectors and said they are all fine. Drove car more today and seeing 12.3PSI now. Maybe it needs to adapt. Going to Atco next week with BadBlack and seeing what the real story is.

I'm going to re-install the BMS tomorrow and be done with the whole thing. Going to Atco next week with BadBlack and seeing what the real story is.

14.4 - 14.8 all day long....for the past year.....Dinan S3 with Dinan Exhaust.
