use these part numbers for claim
submission

Sublet reimbursement calculations:
BMW Antifreeze/Coolant for the amount needed to replace what was drained with a “50/50
coolant/water solution” at dealer net plus your center’s handling.
And as necessary:
The “used quantities” of other repair-related bulk materials (excluding R134a/R1234yf):

do not have” the latest software and if one or more control module failures occur “during” this
programming procedure:
z

Please claim this “consequential” control module-related repair work under the defect code
listed in this bulletin with the applicable KSD2/AIR labor operations.

Other Control Module Repairs
Control module failures that occurred “prior” to performing this programming procedure:

When “covered” under an applicable limited warranty, claim this control module-related
repair work using the applicable defect code and labor operations in KSD2/AIR.

Overlapping Labor Procedure – Other Repairs

Page 6 of 6

If invoicing the KSD2 flat rate labor operation codes for other repair work results in overlapping
labor, for those flat rate labor operations that are affected, you can now:
z

Replace the stated KSD2 “FRU allowance” with a “reduced FRU value” to eliminate the
overlapping labor.

Eligible other repair work being claimed under a different defect code will require separate punch
times.
On the repair order and in the claim comment section, please identify and itemize those labor
operations being claimed with a “reduced FRU value.”
