I was having an issue with going into limp mode everytime I did a hard pull. Turn the car off and back on and it was fine. Turned out to be my Vanos solenoid (manifold side). Took both out and cleaned them real good with brake cleaner. Made sure they were dry and put them back in. Haven't gone into limp mode since. Very easy job to do.

Just when your about to get the good stuff at like 130kph it's like hmmmn... noo you might hurt yourself calm down.

I watched this again I guess because I watched your previous vid where you changed your CPS and I have been having limp mode issues due to my MAF continuing to go out on me for some reason but as I was listening I noticed you were speaking about the N55's propensity to blow at a much higher rate. You said it may be due to the fact that we do not have a blow off system, that is incorrect because we do have Diverter Valve but they're plastic cheapies (as you well know most BMW stock parts are). My remedy for the blown plastic CP was to get an aftermarket one (ER) but I also ordered some GoFastBits Diverter Valve to replace the cheapie plastic one. Keep up the good work on the vids and enjoy your vacation.

Great video buddy! Time to clean that engine bay 😀 Need that charge pipe/upgraded Diverter Valves or BOV 👍🏻

hi guys any help would be really useful i have one can i replace all these pipes myself i have no idea what im doing but can learn. my car goes into limp mode and its really depressing

I have a issue. So my mechanic replaced my injector fuel on one of the cylinder. Its the cykinder 3. Things were fine but once i turned off my car and turned it back on 6 hrs later. It went to engine malfunction reduced power. What do u think its the cause

Is limp mode the same as the reduced power error?

Could this also be due to valve stem seal leaks causing lots of exhaust fumes and triggering the sensor forcing limp mode?

It sometimes helps, true, but whatever the reason is it’s a good idea to visit repair shop ASAP. The ECU has detected that something is not working as intended, and even if your engine runs normally the malfunction may cause accelerated wear, or even damage the other parts. Also driving in limp mode too much is not a good idea - ECU has cut off the turbine, retarded ignition and injection (to mitigate possible knocking) turned off variable valve timing and lift - which means worse efficiency. Worse efficiency means that less heat goes into generating torque and more into engine - so the engine runs hotter than it should, even if waterpump is boosted.

Im not sure if its my injector that's failing or my hpfp, Im getting codes 29CD - Combustion misfires, cylinder 1, 2AAF Fuel pump, plausibility and 2E18 - Firing Cylinder 1. its on limp mode now. Can i switch the injector 1 and 2 to see if im getting cylinder 2 misfire to determine if in fact it is the injector thats the issue? and can i do that without replacing the rings and decompressor rings simply to diagnose? or can i casue damage this way? My original issue was after hard acceleration especially on the highway the car was choking / shaking. I have replaced the coils and spark plugs , which seemed to fix the issue for a month. few days ago i accelerated hard again and it went into limp mode and i am getting the codes above. Beforfe the limp mode I also got a code 29D9 Misfire at low tank fill level. prior and in addition the the codes above. Any suggestions? if it was the HPFP failing wouldnt I have issues with more than 1 cylinder?

Hi Gents I'm having major issues on my 335 I e90 upgraded to 3 stage twin turbos. My low pressure fuel pump jammed up and burnt itself out, I replaced the pump and now I'm having major fueling issues.

Then as soon as I put the car into gear and drive 30 metres the fuel pressure drops rapidly down to 890MPA and the car stalls. I've fitted a new low pressure sensor and still I have the same problem. It runs fine when starting then as soon pull off and accelerate bam limp mode and then stalls my launch diagnosis keeps saying low pressure fuel pump and fuel pump plausibility but it's a new pump. Please any help would be appreciated thanks in advance.

Does BMW provide on-dash notification of 'limp mode'? If not, what are the symptoms? Just significant loss of power? I have a period loss of power (I'd estimate somewhere between 40-60%), and in the past this has been a brief experience - like maybe a mile or less. Only occurred once in a while - every other month perhaps. Last night, I had the same - but for 40+ miles. After turning off the engine and ignition for an hour, then back on ... symptoms were gone, power back to normal. No engine lights or any other warnings. No change in sound ... just loss of power. Btw ... this is a diesel motor. Thoughts?

Black smoke is usually oil burning. Grey smoke is excessive fuel. Could be a number of things. Could just be time to change your air filter, could just be that your engine isnt warmed up fully yet. Could be your pcv is sucking too much oil into the intake. Could be oil leaking past the turbo seals. Try doing an oil and filter service and run some injector cleaner in it and install a catch can and see if it goes away. If it doesnt then get a mech to check the condition of the turbo

@@exaltedb Do you think it is possible that when the engine bay heats up the plastic pipes shift enough to Lear air in? Because at only have problems after a warm start like leaving the gas station and then I get low fuel pressure codes, and the fuel pumps are fine

Ok so my 335 won’t accelerate pass 55mph I took it to the dealer they said leaking fuel injectors and it might be the hpfp anybody dealt with this problem before I need help

PlayBoiiM figure it out?

I have a 2009 e90, my car can be driving smoothly along then go into limp mode on the dash it's says "engine fault" then maybe 10 miles down the road it goes off, if I was to use this car 7 days a week it might happen 1 or 2 times a week, it dosent constantly stay in limp mode and if I turn the engine off and on it usually goes. So any ideas?? Is this video the one I'm looking for do you think??

What codes do u have?

Mine goes into limp if I jump in it in the morning cold and don't let it go thru the cold start and just go. It's really annoying if I am running late somewhere. Not my chargepipe, I have a aftermarket w hks bov. Hey are you in the e90post community? If so what's your user name?

I had the half check engine light and it was in limp mode I had a quarter of the gas tank, I filled the gas tank and the error was gone and it is going strong again although I feel like my ecu tune went back to stock

Could it b cuz u turned the car off & back on rather than the amount of fuel in the tank? I do love the new term u coined "1/2 check engine light"! That's funny 🤣

What could be wrong with the valvetronic system

THE N54 ENGINE HAVE another 2 major problem is the hpfp and the VANOS bolt LIKE 135I/ 335I/ 535I/E89 Z4 35I/X3/X5/X6

Mine charge pipe was simply disconnected 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️😐😂😂

Can confirm n55s do blow up charge pipes

Pls. I need help

Personally I would not recommend ARM, I would stick with N54 Tunning or VRSF Ordered a set of ARM Downpipes which had terrible fitment, flange was on a weird angle, O2 ports were way off causing them to touch the frame. imgur.com/a/c1Dvm N54 Tunning downpipes fitment was perfect. Fairly sure ARM are just reshipping Ali Express parts.

Just to clarify is limp mode a boost leak?

Paul Morris no it isn’t, there are other reasons why your car could go into limp. But limp mode can be caused by a boost leak.

Do people forget that e60 has a 35 right lmao
