Default Check engine light....

Is this normal or it’s me that is annoyed with the check engine light coming on to often for me?

Pressure issue with the exhaust circuit. To be cautious they will change a valve.

Another time, I had an active differential failure. They did a reset to default on the config and increased the fault level of the SD.

Do I have the time to go the dealer every time that it happens = NO!!!

What is possible to do to improve the “Need to go to the dealer frequency” for a check engine or a failure ?

P.S. A check engine light just appeared on my other car

I think it is fair and normal for you to be a little ticked or frustrated. The big thing would be if you have to return for the same issues several times == Lemon!

That engine valve one seems new to the boards...

The Active Diff issue has happened to several people, the word was some cars came from the factory with the wrong software rev for the sport diff. This would throw that error. Software update from dealer and things were fixed without any lingering issues.

Hopefully that engine bit gets fixed then everything is ok. Please post back later!
