My cluster had blown after and resulting in a battery drain.  Managed to source a second hand one which was fitted and lasted 30 mins.  Once blown battery drained again and an intermittent 3 second beep in the car when driving.  Removed the fuse for the cluster to stop the beeping and the battery stopped draining .  Concluding the blown cluster is causing the battery drain but cannot find the cause of cluster blowing.

Hi John

Welcome to the Forum

What diagnotics are you using ?

Check the main connectors to the cluster for a short to earth as you have 2 blown clusters worth sending one to someone like ECU Testing to see if it can be repaired ?

The cluster recieves information from several modules so a full Diagnostic check may well show the culprit up

      MW F30 330E FLYWHEEL COMPATIBILITY

      Hi, I am reaching out to inquire about a specific matter regarding flywheel parts for my vehicle. I have been investigating the following flywheel part numbers and would like to determine if they are compatible for the same flywheel: 1. 8681723 2. 8690203 3. 9454556 From my research, I found that part number 1 is applicable for vehicles manufactured from 2016 to early 2017. In contrast, part numbers 2 and 3 are meant for vehicles produced from July 2017 onwards. My vehicle, a 2017 BMW F30 330e (RWD, 1998cc, 185KW, 252HP B48B20A), falls under part number 1, as it was manufactured in April 2017. Given that these models are closely related, I am curious if the later part numbers (2 and 3) could also function in my vehicle. In the UK, I have been unable to locate aftermarket part number 1 at a reasonable price, but options for part numbers 2 and 3 are abundant. I would greatly appreciate any guidance or clarification anyone can provide on this matter. Thank you for your assistance.

      Air bag fault

      Hello all, on the topic of the failure code 28 "oil thermal sensor oil level defect", considering this is an early vehicle that does not have an oil thermal sensor, and I do not have a fault on the dash, is the fault above an oil level fault and not an oil thermal sensor? I have read that if the oil level sensor fails the car will not start. is this true? Many thanks all for the great support!! Dimitri

      Burst tyre and alloy damage

      Yep I agree re the dealer, the pain is I've been looking at getting the wheels refurbed, just haven't settled on a place. I suppose if I get a new wheel the others can be matched to it or near enough. I will make sure the alignment is checked as well. As u say that's what insurance is for. The day was going too well!

      X1 2024 Recall pillar problem

      Glad it's finally resolved Paul Early 2000's I had an issue with the Merc E55 Estate I owned the Fault was a recall in USA) in Europe Dealer and Mercedes said never heard of it before?? Took my car and gave me a 320d saloon they seemed to think because I was still mobile that was OK. It actually took 2 months and a legal letter and Court date before they suddenly came to life Such a shame the big companies loose sight of their customers sometimes
