CEL / Limp mode
Hey guys,
I apologize if this info could be found else where, I tried searching but had no luck.
So I just bought a 2008 135i. Completely stock except for a K&N drop in filter, I replaced the stock filter after purchase since it was pretty dirty and in my opinion needed replacing.
Anyways, I've been driving it for 3 days now with no issues what so ever. I went out for a high speed run with a friend and worked my way up to 5th gear where I was full throttle at 4k RPM. Suddenly the car dinged and a CEL came on, after this there was an absolute loss of power. Felt like the turbos were no longer working, I assumed this was limp mode?
Once I stopped, turned the car off waited a bit and started it again all issues were gone. No more CEL and power was back to normal. Can anyone explain what might have happened, and should I be visiting the dealership to have it resolved?? Is WOT in 5th gear a no no?!
Thanks in advance for any help.
