Bumping for google index because there aren't too many online records of this issue:
2011 N55 335i coupe e92lci
- In my case, no change of engine bay sound at all.
- Half engine light when building boost above ~3k rpm.
- Loss of low end and high end power, degraded fuel efficiency
- Active DME codes (need bmw specific scanner to read):
2C57 - Charging pressure control, plausibility Pressure too low.
387F - Power management: Standby current violation.
- Replaced the pressure converter:
Genuine BMW - 11747626351 - Pneumatic Wastegate Actuator
- Issue resolved, full boost restored.
Edit: also, maybe take it to a knowledgeable indy shop or dealer. you could run into the problem of just throwing new parts at the car that are unnecessary. not a bad idea for the pressure converter though since part i think is less than $150 and DIY-able if you have some comfort wrenching / plenty of online DIY videos for the N55 |
Awesome, thanks for the tip. The problem hadn't popped up since my post until a couple days ago, so I'm back again for answers. I'll look into this, hopefully it helps fix the problem.
