Replying to: invaliduser (Aug 11, 2006 7:37 am) That sounds tempting.....if I was in the market. My 2004 2.5 is automatic and has just over 20,000 miles on it. I am only doing about 10,000 miles a year so it might last 10 years.  By the way, I sometimes wish I had a manual, but usually I prefer the automatic, easier to talk on the cell and juggle the coffee while looking for another radio station. IMHO that X3 is worth every penny!

I just got my black sapphire X3 with premium pack, heated seats, PDC, HID, Serv steering, and privacy glass yesterday. I drove for about 70 miles and the darn "service engine soon" light comes on! Has anyone else in this forum experience this within the first day or the week of ownership? Any insights on the seriousness of this problem? Thanks a bunch. Jupiter415

Replying to: jupiter415 (Aug 13, 2006 6:45 am) All US cars built since 2006 are fitted with the second generation of On-Board Diagnostics(OBDII). When an OBDII system detects a fault in the engine management system it will illuminate the "Service Engine Soon"(SES) light. Since there are dozens of potential fault codes, it's impossible to determine exactly what triggered the light on your car. That said, one of the most common causes of an SES light is a loose fuel filler cap-I would check that first. In any event, your dealer will be able to determine what is wrong in a matter of minutes. Since it's a new car, the problem is most likely a loose sensor connection or possibly what the techs call an "infant mortality"-a sensor or other electronic part that has failed within the first few hours of operation. I really wouldn't worry about it; let the dealer fix it and drive on down the road. The problem is not indicative of long term reliability. |

Replying to: jupiter415 (Aug 13, 2006 6:45 am) I think we had expected the clicky clicky sound when replacing the gas cap and, as you may now know, it doesn't clicky more than once. I think we had ours reset and since we now know how to put the gas cap back on, it has never happened a second time. Hopefully, this is operator error, even if you weren't the person who put the cap back -- hopefully with only 70 miles on it -- you have not needed gas. Let us know. |

Ok Nyccarguy, I'll bite.  BMW X3 vs. Acura RDX I'll move the recent thread over there - the RDX boards could use some action. Please continue there. Thanks! |
