Diesel DEF Tanks

HELP! I have an 09 X5 35D and the DEF (diesel exhaust fluid) tanks are throwing up codes causing the SES to light up. BMW, thankfully, did an extended warranty on the Active Tank but the Passive tank is still an issue. Is there anyway to bypass the sensors or tanks? Or, preferably, does anyone have a line on a good used tank? Any suggestions would be appreciated thank you.

Welcome! - good that the dealer knew about the extended warranty on the active tank.

What 'BMW' faults are set after the active tank replacement?

Did you ask for some goodwill assistance on the passive - can't hurt right? - How much do they want to replace it?

There are other options to get a reman. tank from a company in Canada.

You can use the same "$5 resistors" fix as for the active tanks - search on bimmerfest. Other - not 100%, though - option is to keep the passive tank full.

Bmw canada does not offer the extended warranty for customers with this issue. My car just ran out of warranty also. Don't know if my extended that I bought will cover. It just so frustrating don't want to dish out 2700 for a repair thats a common problem
