|  | | | BMW E30 Specialty Tools - Page 1 | BMW Code Scan / Reset Tools  | What is the Check Engine light trying to tell me? The BMW Check-Engine light can mean any number of things.
Sometimes it's alerting you to the real need for a repair, but most often it is merely indicating one of the many, simple (top off your coolant, loose gas cap or oil cap) type problems. Imagine paying a hundred dollars to a repair shop to tighten your radiator cap and reset the Check Engine light. Without the R5/FCX, you're stuck staring at your Check Engine light until you see the mechanic who can reset it. Routine Maintenance Lights - As an added benefit, the R5/FCX includes the ability to reset the oil service and inspection, routine maintenance lights. Considering that an oil service for a BMW can sometimes equal the price of the R5/FCX, this feature alone is worth the price of the R5/FCX. Manual and Code book included.
No more driving around with those lights on! Do you change your own oil or go to a fast lube? If you do, then the R5 reset tool is made just for you. The R5 gives you the freedom to reset your own Oil service/Inspection lights, allowing you more choices in service. Super easy to use, takes 15 to 20 seconds, and you don't even have to get your hands dirty! Includes Instructions.
To select the right tool, please be sure to view the Peake Research Application Guide.

Tired of bleeding your brakes using the old fashioned method of bribing a family member to stomp on the pedal? Try a vacuum bleeder. This system sucks fluid through the brake lines and eliminates all air bubbles from a normal system. It's also highly recommended that you check out our Pelican Technical Article on Bleeding BMW Brakes. |

MTVC-001 | Mityvac Brake Bleeder Kit [More Info] | $36.95 | | | Motive Power Bleeders | This innovative brake bleeding device utilizes a hand pump to pressurize the brake fluid system for an easy one-person operation. A small gauge on the front of the brake fluid reservoir indicates pressure. The very large reservoir can hold about two quarts of brake fluid - more than enough for most brake flushing and bleeding jobs. The bleeder is a very useful and cost-effective tool to have in your collection. A pressure bleeder is much better than a vacuum-style bleeder because it will not cause bubbles to form in your brake lines. All bleeders come with a full 1 year warranty.
