So tomorrow I'm taking my 04' into the dealer for what I think is the E19 TSB. Friday got in the car and the check engine light came on, so I pulled over popped the hood and sure enough the cooling fan was not running and the temp gauge was showing halfway. I drove the car home (2 miles) and called the dealer to set up an appointment. Now I've read on this forum about the lack of ability that the "dealer" has in working on our cars. Are there any lessons that you people out there can share with me to watch out for when taking my car to the dealer. (Specifically for the E19 TSB).

I hate, hate, having someone else work on my car, the only reason I'm taking it to the dealer is because I think it may be covered under the warrenty.

*Also, is the TSB supposed to cover the fan relay and or the fan itself ?!?!

Thanks in advance . . .
