Looks like they came to the conclusion that it could be a faulty spark plug. However, they do not have the tool to remove it so ima have to wait until they can borrow the tool or it comes in from a special order. Lmao!
told them to call me tomorrow if they don’t have and I’ll go check with bmw...
I am running OEM 0w20 oil. I wouldn't say I'm racing on it but when I get a chance to drive I do go to Mexico and top out the car. I got the car a year ago and have 6xxx miles on it. I don't drive it a lot but when I get the chance, I do go to Mexico for some spirited driving.
*edit to add more...
The dealer still has the car so I can't get pictures until I get my car back. The car is not tuned. my only mods are intake and exhaust.
Yes, the instructions required that I take the stock o-ring and place it into the new intake pipe. I remember doing that when I installed the intake.
*edit*...
All I'm looking to be owed is for them to give me a fault and a resolution. I don't care if I have to pay but they haven't even suggested that I return the car to stock specs to see if the same issue occurs.
The thing is that from my end it looks like they are guessing and just assuming my...
I'm going to let them do their thing to try and figure out what's wrong. The thing that bothers me is that they have no idea what is wrong with the car and are trying to use my aftermarket parts as a cop out.
The impression I get is that the car itself is confusing for the tech and there is an...
Yeah, idk how they are coming up with this. I thought it was as easy as plug in the computer, find issue, try to fix issue.
Everything I find online says check the spark plugs, rings and injectors if there is a misfire in cylinder 1. Idk if they did that since I am only speaking with the...
So I got an update from Toyota. I think at this point they are guessing. Now they are saying that they think it’s a rear differential issue because I have a slight negative camber.
The “certified” tech has no idea what’s wrong and is calling Toyota engineers to see what’s cause the misfire code.
It's crazy that you've had this issue for a while now. I think your post started in August and now here we are almost halfway through October.
As a side note, maybe not related; but I did bring my car in to the dealer at around 4k miles for possible oil consumption issues. They drained the...
I still have my stock intake in the garage. I just hope they don't blame the intake as the issue. They said they would bill me $379+ if it turns out it's not a warrantied issue and it's my mods. I have no issue paying if what I did "broke" the car. But everything I've read and what everyone has...
I'll see if I have any saved on my phone. The dealership has my car at the moment. Should I take my car back today if they can't come up with a solution?
I actually have my aftermarket chargepipe and downpipe at home in their boxes :(
The issue occurred before I could install. Also, my car experience was given birth through the purchase of this car, so.. what does MAS stand for?
i hope I get a chance to take it to a track. The car is at the dealership right now. I’m told cylinder 1 is misfiring. I’m hoping it’s an easy fix and car is good to go and not a defective engine.
I'm having the same issue right now. The dealership is saying that cylinder 1 is misfiring. They asked what fuel I was using and I said 91 from shell. I know better than to put lower grade fuel. Car has HKS intake and exhaust which looks like we have the same issue with the same intake.
Did...
I appreciate the above tips. I have zero track experience. I'm trying to find one nearby that I can go to. But I don't have a truck or trailer. I'm paranoid that I'll break the car at the track and be stuck there lol
