    Something isn't right after Q093

    I have just had Q093 done. My D4 has lost a heap of low down punch. It feels like it is not producing enough boost. Has anyone else had this happen?

    I will be talking to the dealer in the morning.

    The timing of this issue is really bad. Next week I am about to take off on a road trip with the van attached.

    Its so bad even the wife noticed it when she drove it.

    Good to hear, hopefully they can fix the issue asap.


    A word to the wise (more a reminder) - Never service your vehicle the week before a big trip. Never modify the vehicle a week before the trip..

    Try to get it done a fortnight or more before hand.. This allows time for gremlins to appear and be rectified before you leave....

    The service was done on the 1st so we were almost 2 weeks ahead.

    I drove home in peak hour traffic so I didn't get a chance to give it a run. My wife was the first to notice how bad it was late yesterday.

    Its sad to say in the last 15 years I have only owned one new car that never needed to got back for rectification after a service. That car was a Toyota Starlet....!!!!

    The Mini Cooper D I own hasn't needed a service yet so the Jury is out on that one.

    Clearly there are serious issues in Dealer Service departments.

    Ok so the D4 had its visit to the dealer. No surprise in that they couldn't find a fault. The condition must be contagious as another D4 was in there with the same problem?

    However...

    It seems to have its zing back?

    My take on this is they found the pipe they left loose!!!

    Hi mowog, yes that loose pipe that they don't tell you about.
    Good to hear that you have the 'zing' back for the trip.
    Have a good one

    The problem was they put the hose from the turbo to the engine on in the wrong order. You MUST put the turbo end on first THEN the engine or the airflow is impeded
