F*ckin 335 keeps going into limp mode

RRGOO7 · 04-20-2007, 07:19 PM

Today as i was entering the express way i gave it some gas and and a yellow icon appeared that was apparently "limp mode" and the car had no power at all. I restarted the car and all was good until i gave it some gas again and the same message appeared. This really sucks as im only 17 and i get no rental car.

The icon im pretty sure is limp mode because i looked it up in the manual and it says reduced engine power drive moderatley

oh well i guess off to the dealer

Uh.. Have you done any under hood mods?

Potty_Pants · 04-20-2007, 07:32 PM

you must have a cooler (being a manual) ???

if so I'm surprised your car overheated ??? or just went into limp mode at 240 ????

ppp

RRGOO7 · 04-20-2007, 07:36 PM

car DID NOT over heat....i have zero engine mods 100% sotck......i do not have an oil cooler

ksfrogman · 04-20-2007, 07:38 PM

There are a number of conditions that can cause a car to go into limp mode, not just overheating.

RRGOO7 · 04-20-2007, 07:39 PM

Potty_Pants · 04-20-2007, 07:39 PM

Only sport package cars have the oil cooler (whether AT or MT). I was at my dealership today and looked for the coolers on all 4-door 335is and only the sport package cars had it. I test drove a non-sport MT car and got the temp up to 275 on a normal test drive!

I just wanted to be sure everyone was clear on this. . .

I have a 6MT 335i with SP and have not been able to get it over 240 even when I ride it hard. Thank you for that oil cooler.

bimmer · 04-20-2007, 09:02 PM

I think that the temp should not go beyond 210. I think the pointer should stay fight in the middle.

picus · 04-20-2007, 09:06 PM

Why did it take so long to mention that this is a hp fuel pump problem?

FWIW, I do not think most people on this site are under 20. If they are, please kill me.

(OT) Age polls seem to average about 20-25% or so under 20. (/OT)

top of your class? that's TOO much!

Maybe you think you deserve it, but you haven't paid any "dues".
One word: spoiled. If your parents can afford it, so be it. Just hope
you appreciate it and don't do anything stupid. It's not worth more discussion and I can hardly believe I'm posting this.

RRGOO7 · 04-20-2007, 09:37 PM

can you guys please stop the fucking age thing take it to another thread please........any ideas other than my fuel pump?

Greeney · 04-20-2007, 09:41 PM
