Engine Malfunction after DIY
Hi guys
hoping to get some pointers on what I should check. I have had a issue with oil in the coolant expansion tank, with suspect oil cooler. Yesterday I changed the Oil cooler, flushed coolant, changed expansion tank (old tank was too hard to clean and level sensor broken). At the same time I changed oil and filter. Looked fine, no leaks, all happy. Went for a drive to get oil level reading, and after warming up, gave it a bit of throttle. Got the ding engine malfunction reduced power. Car drives fine but feels like no more boost. After a cold start no errors until I reached the motorway (3km) at which point i had to accelerate more, got the ding at 75kmph. Have done a scan on INPA but engine error codes are in German. So looking for ideas on what It could be, before I take into dealer. Used a fully syn 5w/40 oil, could this do it? Or oil cooler not tight enough? Car is a 2012 x1 28i |
