2 month left on CPO and code P12A9 overboost

thecadman99 · 11-27-2016, 10:32 AM

2011 N63- I'd really like to get everything I can taken care of in the next couple of months before my cpo goes out.

I'd like to get new turbos as mine seem to be a bit noisy, but I don't have any trouble code other than p12a9- an I'm not sure that will warrant replacement.

Any thoughts on what this code could mean?

only thing I can think of is pour some water down in turbos that will take care of it
You possibly can get new engine.

A new engine would be nice... but with my luck it would have those little "red x" stickers like a phone in there somewhere.

No stickers on cars I can only tell you that much just because engine bay gets wet all the time

Lol, yeah I was just joking- I would say things like that have been done though.. to get replacement parts under warranty- and with all the problems that N63 seems to have had I can almost understand why (almost)

Anything come of this as I'm getting this code.
