Has anybody experienced the following? I could not find anything in a search of this forum...
Pulling out of my drive way (cold engine), while accelerating...
- Pop! noise - not a bang - like something under air pressure blew a seal.
- Louder than normal turbo sound while driving around city speeds.
- Reduced torque/power - not much more than 10%-20%.
- If I'm in a higher gear when I give it gas (about 50-80%), it downshifts, but with little power, as if the tranny knows what to do, but the engine just can't deliver the power.
- No OBDII Codes thrown at all. No check engine light.
My first guess is that my electronic blow-off valve is somehow stuck open (hence, turbo spools up, but very low power). It is not vented to atmosphere. Why would it make a "pop" sound?
Any other ideas on root cause?
Would this be an easy fix?
If not, would it be covered under powertrain warranty (CPO 100k mi)?
Thanks.
Jay.
