Reading down on this page, that is. See where I said, a few posts back, about the Q … “few minor issues I wasn’t told about, shouldn’t be serious”?
HAHAHAHA ummm …. ouch.
So far I’ve spent, on average, around $500 every month on repairs for that thing. And it still isn’t right. Has the famous idle stumble now, which can have any of a dozen causes, many of them expensive. Today I intend to get an OBD-II scanner so I can pull codes, which may or may not help me diagnose it. MAF was a possibility; that seems to have been eliminated. Injector resistance, I can’t seem to measure through the harness as one can with G50 Qs. However the most likely thing is a failing coilpack, so that means I have to test each of them - fortunately not a difficult process. If I can pin it down to one coilpack, it’s only about $80 to replace, so that isn’t bad, but the process of pinning down the problem is a real nuisance.
WTS one Q45, cheep
