First 135 issue

dan · 11-04-2015, 09:31 PM

Driving home and accelerating hard from a side street onto a highway, heard/felt a pop/snap and immediate loss of power. Car in limp mode I guess, stopped for gas and to check things out. Nothing seemed out of whack but when I restarted I got the Check Engine and SES lights (in yellow). Car still in limp mode.

I'll take it in first thing tomorrow.

let us know what comes of it. Only issue I had was electric water pump (failed at 30k miles), covered under CPO.

Do you have an n55 or n54 one?

How have you liked it so far?

It's a 2012, so the N55. It's been fantastic so far! Love driving it every day.

Mine's got around 42,000 miles on it, CPO warranty through 8/2017

And I was bitching when the one on my Toyota was starting to out at 80k...

Yikes, that's got to be disconcerting. Turbo issue, maybe?

My wild-ass guess is it's a coil/cylinder misfire issue.

Welp, it was just a crack in the charge air pipe going to the throttle body. They had it fixed last night and I picked it up early this morning.

Cool. Weird thing to fail though.

Looks like it's a pretty common issue
