LOL! Good thing it didn't go all the way into a runner. Though at it's size I guess that would be a low probability. Well done getting it out at any rate.

Decided to use the X5 tonight to drive to dinner, and upon entering the parking lot (25 mile drive to the restaurant), it decided to grace me with an SES.
Code comes up as 279b Thermostat Jamming. Temp was constant at the center and oil temp was normal, even on the entire ride home. I erased the code when I got home, then went out for a little 12 mile ride and it hasn't thrown the code again. Coolant and oil temp normal. I'm hoping this was just a glitch.

Unfortunately the thermo dial in the dash is not a gauge. It's a 3 position idiot light: cold, within 30° of operating temp, and overheated.
The problem is, the thermostat can be struck open or closed and be 20° off and the dash will not inform you but you will get shit mpg and run for months rich with a car that won't get to closed loop. Ask me how I know. I recommend monitoring you actual temp real-time for a while. Use I think hidden menu 7 or 9.

I had a buddy drop a broken off electrode of a spark plug into a cylinder and not realize until he started the car so I was a little concerned when it dawned on me that maybe the o-ring got sucked into the intake. I wasn't too concerned that it got sucked into the intake I was a little worried it would have broken the throttle motor. But was happy when the engine fired up and the gas pedal aka "driver wishes" pedal did something.

On second thoughts it appears it is running colder than it should on the highway. This is about as hot as it got driving about 40 minutes on the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
