The 335 has a lot of problems with kinked turbo hoses. Don't know if that is what is wrong with yours. When mine had a problem, I got the "Engine Malfunction, you are running at reduced power" message.

HPFP failure

michael1284 · 07-20-2011, 08:27 AM

Could also be a boost leak somewhere.

PaiNFuLSeDaTiVe · 07-20-2011, 09:27 AM

when mine had the same issue, they replaced some VANOS sensors to fix it. If you do a search, you'll find my post with all the info (it's in this forum section) and symptoms that I had. Depending on your situation, could be the same thing, but most people default with HPFP.

Naptime · 07-20-2011, 09:47 AM

Do you have any way to read codes?

Sounds like a wastegate issue.

I wouldn't be too worried, you can adjust the wategate actuator pretty easily.

well they havent figured it out yet so can i adjust the wastegate my self??

bmertek · 07-20-2011, 07:40 PM

If the high pressure fuel system is setting a fault (like a failed hpfp), the wastegates are held open so no boost can build up, therefore the engine wont go too lean. Probably something in the high pressure system due to being at higher rpm's

shockin330i · 07-20-2011, 07:42 PM

I smell boost leak somewhere.. might be wastegate, maybe blew off a boot or pipe somewhere down the line. happens to my friend all the time

Litos · 07-20-2011, 08:46 PM

i'll go all in with hpfp failure

Thicccboi · 07-20-2011, 11:07 PM

i appreciated all the help guy ill see what the shop says tomorrow!! so is it a big deal or should i not worry about it

PaiNFuLSeDaTiVe · 07-21-2011, 09:35 AM

I"m sure it's fixable, nothing too serious. What shop did you take it to?

Thicccboi · 07-21-2011, 09:57 AM
