Double Check your lenses after coding

I do not know how much disassembly takes places when lenses are coded. Looks like the mounting ring is replaced but whether lens units are removed from mounts before ring is removed, I don't know. What I do know is that my 35/1.4 ASPH has a new mount ring and no longer focuses properly. It does not coincidence at infinity with any of my Ms and is off by 100 mm at 2 meters; i.e. focuses 100mm past the subject at 2 meters. A change in thickness of mounting ring, or a shim that wasn't replaced on reassembly would be enough to cause this. I have sent a note to Leica Service. No reply yet, of course. These days you need to double check everything. Be careful out there....
