Got the dreaded increased emissions
Went to turn on my car tonight and increased emissions with reduced power warning lit up on my dash...
Along with the redline pushed all the way to 4K rpms. Hoping my car is still under the 7/70 for the throttle actuators.. I was crossing my fingers hoping it will fail before the end... I'm below 70 but I'm pretty sure I'm on the cusp or over the 7. Wish me luck when I take it to the dealer. Not that it's overall expensive but if it's fully covered and I just missed the cut off it would burn hah. |

If its not covered, buy rebuilt actuators and install them yourself or get an Indy to install. Going to BMW is just going to be a total ripoff unless you have money to throw away like that.

I have the same thing, increased emissions but the car is not in limp mode. Tossed code P0128, just researching it now and saw your post.

Usually these signs have been a tell tale sign of actuators from my research. And regardless it's emissions related and the extended emissions warranty covers a bunch of emission related parts

I got a similar message when my DCT transmission went to limp mode on track. It wasn't emissions related I ran codes and found loss of transmission oil pressure. That's just one example, but it occurred in a different manner. Good luck

Dealership has informed me that both banks need replacement along with thermostat
I'm also a month out of the 7/70, they are checking to see what they can do for me and if they can honor the emissions warranty.. Fingers crossed |

As a side note, if you decide not to use Abdul's services, please at least contact him and offer him your TA's for whatever market value is as he is in desperate need of cores which in the end are passed along to the M3post community. |

Similar story here - My actuators had been causing limp-home mode intermittently for the last several months (correctable via re-start), and i was occasionally gotten the increased emissions CEL. The CELs were sometimes linked to a thermostat and sometimes to "O2 Sensor Signal Stuck Rich."
Just replace both actuators (from FCP) and the water pump/thermostat/thermostat sensor last weekend. Drove about 1/2 hour on the highway this afternoon, and got another O2 Sensor Stuck Rich. The battery is only 2 years old, so i'm thinking it may be the O2 sensor... May try that next, when i get another free weekend. |
