Codes P0116, P0118 and P0128

I had a check engine light come on over the weekend with the above codes read by my Automatic dongle.

My 2012 R56 is out of warranty (51k miles), but I may take it back to the dealer anyway since I think they've previously replaced the thermostat and other sensors under a "campaign" and this may be a related issue.

Opinions and recommendations are welcome.

I think you already have the right idea. All of those codes point to the thermostat..

looks like Coolant temp sensor.



P0116 - Coolant Temperature Sensor rationality Check
P0118 - Engine Coolant Temperature Circuit High
P0128 - Coolant Thermostat (Coolant Temperature Below Thermostat Regulation Temperature)

Check the date and mileage when anything was replaced, and what the warranty period on the replaced items is.

Problem fixed - thanks to those who replied.

Thanks to all who responded. I figured I had a fighting chance to get the repair done for free at the dealer since the thermostat was replaced in 2013 (even though I'm out of warranty). Agreed to pay a $50 deductible (which would have applied had I bought the extended warranty). Hopefully they've gotten the bugs worked out for this part. It's actually my third thermostat in 3 years!
