Loss of Power!
Couple of days ago I was pulling out of a parking space and the car stuttered for a second but was fine after that. However, after driving for a couple of miles I first noticed some vibrations on the clutch and then more significant vibrations on the gear lever and now I've noticed a significant drop in power as I accelerate. This is most noticable in 4th,5th and 6th gear, where before I was able to go down to 20mph in 5th and go back up pretty smoothly w/o downshifting, now the car shakes when I do that. It seems that the turbo is out or not giving enough boost.
I'm a little pissed because car only has 6.5K miles, hopefully BMW will be able to get everything straightened out the first time around. Could this also be a sign of HPFP??? |

doesn't sound like a typical HPFP problem, could be a CDV problem? or you could have ruined the clutch, which, if you did I wouldn't tell anyone.

the same shit happened to me today, you feel vibration in the clutch when you shift right or even depress the clutch, and seems like the car doesn't have the power anymore right. If you do happen find out whats was wrong with it pm me

I seems the sound that the turbo makes is not there or barely noticable (hissing sound when you change gears - I think it's the blow-off valve that makes that sound - not an expert) but I was hearing it loud and clear before all this happened. |
