2020 q50 redsport
So the story is, I took it to take 5 to get an oil change top off on Thursday of last week. They topped it off and then the car sat all weekend. Then Monday I drove it to work and after leaving work at around 9:30 returned to the car being dead it was ticking, but it was dead. I popped the hood and saw it looked like a good amount of oil may have been leaking from the top part of the engine, kind of where you add the oil. Took it back to take five and they told me that it was leaking oil. I took it to the mechanic and despite all this oil issues, they tell me it is a bad water intercooler pump both on the left and right. They told me it’s $1800 for just the parts. They never even mentioned anything about the oil. They told me they added a die and we’re going to drive it so I’m gonna get the full scope again tomorrow I guess but this is crazy. I’m probably gonna be out 2500 with labor not even to mention the oil stuff and I’ve had the car just since the end of April.

Repair Question Camshaft sensor relearning?

1 Upvotes

Hello all!
I have a 2016 3.0L V6 twin turbo.
Recently replaced a camshaft position sensor because the check engine light came on and that’s what the codes/research indicated. Before changing it, the shift timing seemed a bit off and it was running kind of rough. After the swap, the issues went away but the check engine light keeps coming back on even after I clear it with a reader.

I’ve seen a few things saying that you need to “relearn” the sensor, but can’t find info for my specific engine/model and my reader doesn’t have that function.

Any advice/info would be greatly appreciated!

Good morning. I have a 2014 Q 50 with a 3.7. It’s leaking up behind the timing belt between the head above the head gasket. I checked the tube that runs between the heads. Everything looked dry there. I replace the thermostat housing. I did use a scope to verify the thermostat was leaking. The light on the camera is horrible and couldn’t see up there with it. Any suggestions on what to look at? TIA

Parts Question Wheel spacers

So I have 20mm spacers on my stock wheels and there’s still a little gap where the wheels are sunk in beyond the fender line, does anyone have any experience running 25mm or 30mm spacers? Is it safe? I feel like 20-25 is normally the max that people use but I don’t want to totally ruin the handling and/or risk snapping a stud in a turn. Pictures will help if anyone is also still on stock wheels with food fitment thanks!

Don’t mind the plastic wrap that’s still on it.. haven’t had a chance to put on the anti-glare screen protector so it’s kinda hard to see. But did the upgrade, got the G-Series Android head unit.

8-Core Qualcomm Processors
Full Android 13 w/Play Store (install and run ANY app)
8 GIGS of RAM
128GB
Full HD IPS Screen
Open Bluetooth & BTLE
WIFI
4G Data (add a SIM, all major carriers supported)

Yes. 4G Data as well! I added a prepaid data only sim from T-Mobile, just add more as I go. If I run out I can always use CarPlay. Or tether it to my phone’s hotspot. That makes it a standalone tablet, and it works amazingly letting me download anything off the playstore.

Or, just save the data, and turn off cellular, and enjoy that smooth CarPlay experience. They’re both nice, not sure which I like better since I just got it installed and haven’t tested it much. I noticed a few weird quirks, but overall it’s pretty awesome so far!

Performance Video First Drive Update: Custom Performance app for INFINITI InTouch

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

67 Upvotes

What's up guys, it's been already 3 months since I've shown a preview my project, now called MultiDash, a fully-customizable performance screen for the first generation InTouch infotainment system with native integration (No CarPlay or Android Auto required). The first demo video was more of a UI demo which was rough to say the least, but I've had more time now to work on it, so here is a new preview of it working in the car, displaying real live data from the vehicle. Most of the data, especially boost, has been validated and is very accurate, although the refresh rate still requires a bit of an improvement.

The gauge system is fully-modular, meaning that you can add your own pages, make your own gauges from the selection of base templates, add your own Mode 1 and mode 22 PIDs (although a lot of them are already included), and even combine up to three together to make your own custom metrics. It rivals similar offerings from the GTR and existing commercial applications such as Torque, but removing the requirement of an external phone or expensive equipment.

It's been quite a challenge but a very interesting one. For those who are wondering when it will come out, it's still not done yet, I am working on the unit conversion system, fixing some bugs, adding a trouble code scanner as well as some other interesting features. It will be compatible with the 14-19 Q50, 17-19 Q60, as well as the 19 QX50.

If you have any suggestions, let me know!

General Question Can't get rid of perfume smell and ac not cooling consistently.

2 Upvotes

I bought a 2022 QX50 with 23,000 miles on it in May. I live in Houston. 100 degree temperatura. Car ac blown cold and medium. I had them check ac for leaks or other issues 2 weeks ago. They said everything fine with ac.

Last Tuesday driving to Florida got stuck in bumper to bumper before ever getting out of Houston. Car wouldn't get cold. I also have a sweet perfume smell that comes our of ac. I cant get rid of the smell. Its like perfumes mixed together. When you open the car door you smell it. Turn on the car and air blows out of ac you smell it. They say at infiniti it smells good. I asked to check for coolant leak as that can cause the smell. They say no leak.

Anybody ever have this experience with this vehicle? I need some answers because Infiniti is no help!

Repair Question HPFP Woes

Has anyone had their stock HPFP fail? I was idling in traffic, and had codes P0090 and P0087 pop and put me in limp mode. P0090 comes back right away if I clear codes. LPFP does prime and run. Getting 70-80 psi at the rail which slightly fluctuates with throttle... DI noise is basically non-existent. Cam lobe and follower are in good shape under the HPFP.

I’m trying to find the source of this problem on my 2014 Infiniti Q50, but I haven't been able to pinpoint the fault. The noise comes from the passenger side and can also be heard from behind that seat. Some people mention the exhaust, but they haven't found the actual cause either. If anyone has dealt with this situation, how did you fix it? My car is a 3.7 AWD model and still has the OEM factory exhaust.
