Thanks for posting back with the conclusion, we get too many threads where the OP just disappears without trace, so we never know if it was fixed or not :mrgreen:

Yeah, that drives me nuts. All take and no give. I've read so many where you just have to guess it was fixed by doing the last thing that was suggested. :D

Is it not possible to remove BCM and dry it out?

There are a number of posts on bcm and water ingress.
Mine included.
I had so many fault codes it was unbelievable.
Flux pen, solder sucker and many hours of soldering the 'through hole' pins.
Contact cleaner on the plugs and then contact sealing spray oil stuff, and mine was back on the road.
If the plugs havnt been cleaned, id worry your problems may return.

Well done for sorting, but u might not have needed to spend as much.
