So i limp to it to school so it can sit while i write this hoping its a one off and no worries when i go back to return home or an indy shop to get codes. I did however listen to the car and it doesnt behave any differently then yesterday or last year. I checked the charge pipe thinking it blew since i have 91,000km now but its sturdy and doesnt appear to have any issues. I was thinking maybe a coil is gone but the idle of the car is still purring. Only other thing i can think of is boost silenoid since there appears to be nothing wrong but just reduced power. If anyone has any ideas that i can check before i pay $170 for a diag that would be great.
Should mention everything is stock besides the ppk software.
Hopefully your having a better day then myself  |
Here in the US I would just suggest you stop by an Autozone or Advance Auto or similar and have them plug into the OBD and tell you the codes. Most places will do this for free. Once you have the codes, just compare them to the document on the forums called:
"BMW N55 Diagnostic Fault Codes.pdf"
You can go from there.
Good luck!
