Hi
In this video I quick show you how I have successfully repaired a PDC module from a 2011 BMW X1 that had suffered water damaged.
I would like you apologise for the abrupt end of the recording... run out space on my phone.

Like always, thank you for watching!
Thanks so much for taking the time to upload this. The PDC on our 118d has never worked. I took it apart and found exactly the same pin on the same IC had corroded. I'd previously tried to just re-solder it to the board, but that didn't work. I saw your video and made an identical jumper. Now works great. Thanks again.
No worries... Thank you for watching and for your comment!
👍👍👍
Dude you are the best. Had this problem on my 116i from 2006 two times. The first time i bought a used one off ebay, then that one died of the same course after 1 1/2 years. The jumper works just fine, thank you :)
😊
Great you got it sorted!
👍👍👍
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Thanks for this, i found exactly the same leg had burnt out/corroded and managed to expose enough to solder to.
👍👍👍
i had exactly same problem and you save me, it is working now, thank you a lot!
👍
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Thanks for the video! Did the same repair and it works. Hope it will last...👍
☺️
👍👍👍
Thanks so much, same problem on my X1 and solved thanks to your video!!! i only pull out all the water form the foam, and dry the module opening it, re-put it on AND WORKS PERFECTLY!!! THANKS THANKS THANKS, one thing: also on my module i noticed that the second soldering from the right on the chip was not good, but i didn't do anything as now, if you can explain better what you have done soldering that new wire with another video it will be great.....thanks again
Thank you for watching and for your feedback! Much appreciated!
I will try to make a video on soldering...
hi man i really enjoy your videos either short or long just keep doing what you r doing great job
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
I have both the PDC and the rear view camera control module, both damaged from water intrusion. A third board is undamaged as that board is encapsulated in putty. I am going to attempt this repair and if successful, I am going to coat the boards with epoxy and make the cases watertight so this doesn’t happen again. From all I have read, all these vehicles are prone to flooding of the areas where these modules sit and it amazes that BMW had not addressed this in at least the 2011-15 models.
👍👍👍
Hope you get it sorted!
Here’s a follow up:
About 2 months ago during our rainy season, both the rear-view camera and the PDC sensors on my 2015 X1 became intermittent and then failed completely. It was apparent the two were connected. I tried cleaning the sensors, etc but the parking sensor button wasn’t even turning on. I was going to wait until taking it for service. Recently, inspired by some of the videos here, I decided to look in the back and sure enough 2 out of 3 modules had tell-tale signs of water damage. The aluminum housing of the camera module had corrosion and pitting and the board inside had traces covered with powder, presumably, from this corrosion and pitting. I cleaned the board with a toothbrush and some rubbing alcohol to a point where it looked all right but plugging it back in (without the aluminum case) did not improve anything. The undamaged module is covered with some conformal coating and I don’t understand why BMW would not have done this with all the boards. The damaged board had the second pin missing (PIN number 19 actually) as in this video. There was not even a stub left to solder a wire to. I purchased a replacement chip L4949EP-P for USD 1.50. This is a voltage regulator that down converts 12VDC to 5 VDC. The missing pin is the output. I removed the old chip, cleaned up the solder pad and soldered in the new chip and made a jumper connection between the chip and the capacitor as shown in this video. Tested it, found the sensors and camera to be working, covered the chip with hot melt glue. I also sealed the aluminum casing of the camera control board with hot melt glue. Here is hoping they provide sufficient waterproofing.
BMW service said they’d charge $200 to diagnose the water leak. In the back they said the drain lines could be plugged. I don’t see any evidence of that. Given the number of complaints about the leak, you’d think there would be a recall but there has not been any.
Hope someone finds this information useful.
That's great!
Appreciate the feedback!
👍👍👍
Thank you. Has worked for me.

The IC is easily available, I replaced it on my E87.
Aren't you afraid of ESD, putting the board on the carpet like that?
As you might have seen was no need to have it replaced...
As for the ESD, no... I am not afraid...
☺️
👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs It didn't need to be. Mine did and I thought some of the people finding this video because they encounter this issue will be happy to read the chip is easy to source and easy to replace

i have an x1 2016 with water damage. could you take on the job?
Any idea of where the water was coming in from? Because it would probably come in again if that wasn't fixed.
Did you find where the water was entered from? I have the same problem?
what about the water??? where the water came from?? Did u fix that?
Another great video, what is the solution you are spraying on it to clean it up?.
Isopropyl alcohol...
👍👍👍
How long dose this last and anyone had any problems and is it a safe? No overheating ect
This might be impossible to answer, but I'll ask anyway. I've just watched your video and discovered that my X1 has exactly the same issue, but although your example is wet, mine is literally swimming. That whole compartment is flooded, but I can't see an obvious entry point for the water, so that I can prevent it from happening in future. Any pointers?
Check the vent flaps... the tail light seal, and the boot rubber seal...
👍👍👍
Great save! would you attempt to get another IC or just replace the unit if this didnt work? also does a donor unit have to be programmed?
Hi
Thank you for your comment.
If this fail again, (which I hope not... lol), I will try to replace the IC.
A second hand unit, should work straight with no programming or coding.
(Will make a video if that happens...)
How did you know where to link the broken leg of the chip ? And thanks a lot this worked for me :)
By observing the board... a follow what was possible on the PCB...
👍👍👍
hi could you tell me what kind of flux you use and what exacly is its purpose
Hi
The flux is the AMTECH
Watch this... ua-cam.com/video/bGckVJeG6b8/v-deo.html
Thank you for watching!
hi there, great video! Do you know where is the PDC module location on bmw F01?
Under the glove box... if I am not mistaken...
Thank you for watching!
@@LMAutoRepairs I have found fuse box and airbag module in the glovebox but not the PDC module. I have stripped the lining in the boot and not PDC module found, but thanks for your reply and your videos, good job!
@@jozefautersky4725
Thats weird...
Check on tis online...
But i was pretty sure that is the it should be...🤔
@@LMAutoRepairs thanks for the reply, I am trying for nearly two months to find it online but not success yet.
Will WD-40 help here?
Possibly...
👍👍👍
Hi
I have the same defect on my BMW 120d
Can you tell me step by step what you really do on the Chip. I not see where you fix the cable
Thanks for help
Best regards
Patrick Picard
I have just completed the path for the damaged leg of the chip... using the wire.
It depends on bad the damage is, you might not be able to have it repaired... you need to assess that yourself...
Hope that helps...
hello
I have the problem with radar of recoil, the pdc does not function, 12v box pdc 8.5 sensor
But I have a poster when I am in the test pdc is mark speaker not assembled?
MrXacho
What can you see under live data?
Any codes?
I use inpa ediabas
0 default in the pdc
Sensor ok
Ok speed sensor
Pdc ok 12V
No sound after diagnosis with inpa in the menu test it mark speaker not assembled
