New plugs and coils
I had the drivetrain and engine malfunction messages for a while and finally got the X6 into the shop. Both messages were coming from bad plugs and coils according to the shop. There was a cylinder misfire error code that came up when scanned.
The mechanic showed me the old plugs and the gap on them was over 0.042"! He installed the 97506 at 0.020" and said it is running like a monster now, way more power! I have a 2010 with 67,000 kilometres. ESS tune and catless downpipes. The plugs were carbon covered with huge gaps. I drove home about 30 kilometres and it does feel much better than before. Stomping the pedal pushes me back into my seat. I was on the highway and floored it, went from about 90km to 140km no problem but there was a big puff of black smoke. The shop said it's most likely due to being tuned and catless. They didn't think it's related to valve stems. One thing I noticed is that while I was driving in sport mode, the info on the dash stayed between 4-5 kilometres per litre! Ouch! |
