engine cutting out

[colly]

Hi everyone. i really hope someone can help me with this. My 2012 520D F10 starts up and runs for around 20 seconds then just dies. I recently had the dreaded timing chain replaced at a great expense and really don't want to spend any more money on it. i had it plugged in and it came back with the following code

801C60

ZGM No flexray initialisation

801C20

ZGM central fault memory full

Would anyone know what these mean? and maybe a fix?

Morning Colin

Welcome to the Forum

From what I understand the Gateway Module that handles communication throughout the car has a full memory of old faults. They need clearing before things can settle down. Can you or who ever got you the codes not clear the Fault Memory. Or you could try disconnecting battery and leave it disconnected for at least 20-30mins (disconnect Neg first) Dealers often do this to clear faults. For me though the process using a good BMW capable Diagnostic is make sure the battery is fully charged read all faults clear the faults and fault memory. Rescan to see what if anything returns, that is the only way you will know what if anything is wrong.

Hope this Helps
