Damn that's good stuff. I'm dying to see FBO results.

Forgive the newbie question, been away from the scene for a while due to school.

I currently have the Procede v2.5 with IC, DP, exhaust, intake. How does the COBB stage 2 compare? I realize there are probably eighty seven gillion threads on it, looking for a quick breakdown though.

its got a 30 day return policy and you can install it sitting in the driver seat playing on your smart phone. Give it a test run and you tell us.

I had my downpipes installed and the "Service engine soon" light came on. Flashed to stage 2 and it went away for a while, but it has now come back on.

I bought my car CPO 3 months ago, so I don't think it needs to be serviced soon. Is this due to Downpipe still or is this a real service needed? When I got the car it had 27,000 miles now has 28,600.

THANKS!

read the codes with your AP and see what codes you get

Get a BT tool and read the code.

It is most likely due to being catless, but may also be time for an oil change. Can't really tell without the codes!

Don't need the BT tool when he has the AP (AccessPort)..

I thought Stage 2 turned off the cat codes? I don't know if they pop up or not because of my dp fix

dzenno · 02-08-2012, 09:57 AM

stage 2 does turn off those codes (cat efficiency monitors) and that's why my advice to him is to scan the codes and see what's up...i bet its not catalytic converter related OR he may have loaded back the stage 1 map by mistake

Stage 2 and stage 2+ do turn the codes off. He must have another issue.

Im hoping I don't! Will check codes today during my break. What menu screen do I go to?

rader1 · 02-08-2012, 10:08 AM

Troubleshooting-> check codes

While you're at it, click on tune and see current tune. You may have accidently selected stage 1(as Dzenno suggested)

usig stage 2. says no codes found.... means I need to bring to dealer?

Alpina_B3_Lux · 02-08-2012, 04:13 PM

Quick question: Does selection a new map delete existing log files? Because I just did a few logs (at least I thought I did), then flashed the car to another map and did another datalog and only one later showed on the AP.

Is that normal?

I believe not. try connecting your ap to your pc to see if its still there.

So, you have a SES light with no codes found? That is weird. My advice is to email cobb tuning and see what they have to say.

If there was another problem not related to the flash, would it still show up in the codes?

135i · 02-08-2012, 05:54 PM

Anybody know the significance of the code P29DC "cylinder shutdown?"

skatenc123 · 02-08-2012, 06:06 PM

FIRST OFF im not sure if the information i am giving is 100% correct but after looking into "cylinder shutdown" i couldnt find anything with that code i found this. "If a particular cylinder is experiencing a misfire that is bad enough to cause damage to piston rings, valves, cats, etc, your ecu will cut off fuel to that cylinder to prevent any serious damage." i would try sparkplugs and coil packs, and see if the problempersist.
