  • high severityopenIssue shifting 3-4View issue

    Car began having issues shifting 3-4. Car throws a code about a 3-4 solenoid. I can override the error and it will shift to 5 and 6 but once going back down to 4th, the error occurs again and locks me out of the higher gears.

  • medium severityresolvedWhistle at idle1 commentView issue

    After the car gets slightly warmed up, it begins to have this weird whistle sound. It roughly sounds like its coming from the bottom passenger side, somewhat near the intercooler-ish area?

      Replacing the valve cover fixed the issue! Core problem was the PCV system was clogged which is a really common problem on the N55!

    Brake light stays illuminated even after resets. After checking with ProTools, the error code of "5DE2 Brake-pad wear: Brake pads, front axle" is present.

      Found the problem to be an issue with the harness side that is on the driver fender well. After repairing that, the light finally went away. 🎉
