I'm not driving the car between now and Monday. I'm getting it towed to the dealer since I still don't know the actual cause.
I just plugged in my Ecutek and used the DTC tool to verify there were no stored codes.
On the side note of doom and gloom..
There was a YouTube video I ran across where the guy had a rod/bearing issue. One of his comments "Ended up being a spun Rod 4 Bearing, apparently it wasn't out of the normal on the early first batch engines due to a front oil valley cover issue (passages too narrow or something along those lines). I got a replacement engine under warranty and it was fine ever since. The early engines have a #1 with an eagle looking logo stamped on the front cover, revised front covers have a #2 with no eagle. Sure they've done more revisions since then."
I looked at my cover and I found the eagle and I found the #1 on it  |
That is an interesting tidbit of info right there. Need to do some more research on this. If they had a bad design on the timing cover bad enough to starve the crank then this should be a recall. I have a fairly early 2013. When I get home I will check to see if I have a #1 on my timing cover.
