I'm also working on an overlay with the default logging parameters, I'll post an example once I go out and do a pull. My temps are unusually low in this video for a track day because it was only 37 degrees outside

Very cool! Is the Cobb data loaded into DashWare after your run, or somehow combined during the run?
Also, I couldn't tell if you were using your paddle shifters - or were you in S mode.
Thanks for sharing!

Yes, I load the .csv files from the AiM and the COBB into DashWare along with my video file and sync them after my run. DashWare lets you do data files from multiple sources which is nice. You're right, I used the paddles for every shift. I keep the car in DS mode on the track.

Got the car back from the dealer, I had 2 leaking injectors :/

Probably best to replace all 6, especially if the 2 failing ones are on separate banks

Give_Em_The_DD · 12-26-2013, 03:39 PM

Anyone having issues with the cobb site?

They replaced all 6 and all the spark plugs too

I'm sure the answer is in this thread somewhere, but I can't find it :-(

Anyone know if you can use the troubleshoot menu on a 335i other than the one the accessport is married to?

Thanks!

Gonna guess yes, since you can use the troubleshoot menu without it being married to a car.

I've done it at the track with my AP to read other people's codes. Very helpful.

Guys, ran into a problem with my Cobb, I had stage 1+ sport linear throttle set for my 1m, along with the intercooler, intake n mid pipe plus muffler. From time to time the ref will go up and down slighter then stall on me. So I have reset it to stock map and everything is working fine, this also happened when I was on stage 1. Has anyone had this problem, there are no codes indicated neither. Pls advise as I can't stand driving with stock map. Thank you

Try to capture the behavior in a log and send it over to us.

Thanks Josh, yr helpline team suggested I do a data log when the stalling happens so do I keep the accessport plugged in at all time with data log activated till I get it recorded? Stalling happens once in a while but instable rpm is more often

If its not consistent, that's probably your best bet. Once it happens, stop the log and we'll know that we need to focus on the end portion of it. Remember to clear logs occasionally if they are big/long... there's only so much memory on the AP.

not the best at understanding all the variables, but i can see my car is lagging as all hell

Boost is hitting in the higher RPM ranges which seems atypical for our cars. Thoughts?

Edit: closer view on pull, this is freeway to work driving, may not be the best example

I just bought a Cobb and received it yesterday. Recently I had a coil replaced and a bank of injectors under my CPO. I am still convinced my car is not running smooth so I am hesitant to install the Cobb thinking I will throw some codes, plus its been so cold here in Chicago. If I install the Cobb, do I have to flash a map? Or can I use to read codes and log data stock to make sure all is ok first? This is my first venture into Cobb and AP modules. Thanks for any feedback.

You can install the cobb and run Stage 0 which is stock like settings. You also have to install it to run data logs, but you are able to read codes without it installed.

I plugged in my new cobb and did an error code read and got this. H codes I believe are historic. Quick background, I just had the cylinder 5 coil replaced, the cylinder 5 spark plug, as well as the 3 injectors in that bank under my CPO. Previously, I replaced my plugs about 5000 miles ago, the leaking injector fouled plug 5. My car seems to studder a little on the highway when I floor in 5th or 6th gear, but I only have 1 P error code, which I believe is nothing. I want to try out the Cobb but I am paranoid something else is wrong. Do I have anything to worry about with these codes?

anyone? feels like my car struggles to load boost until high RPM...

What's the P-code or fault code description?

What map are you using? You're also not getting a complete data set, try to get 2 quality logs, from 2.5k to 6k. I'm not sure what the V3's default data log list is, but I usually switch Cylinder Timing to Cylinder 2, and then log Timing Corrections for Cylinders 3, 4, 5 & 6.

alwayseuro · 02-17-2014, 05:13 PM

Pulled the trigger and went with cobb. Can't wait to wake this motor up a bit this weekend.

R3N · 02-19-2014, 07:52 PM

Flashed a new map (from PTF) onto the car today, and all appeared well. When i took it for a drive i noticed the transmission would start off in D2, then shift to D3 at a standstill and take off in D3. Sport mode would also start in S2 then S3. I have the Alpina TCU flash. I flashed other maps and it did the same thing. Eventually, i flashed back to the new map and took it for a drive.

Decided to drive in manual mode, 5 minutes into my drive the engine started to rev freely until about 3k rpm then settle back down and it was selecting gears as per normal.

Anyone experienced this or similar before? Its working fine now, but have concerns as to what may have caused this behaviour.
