Power loss over time
Discussion
Hi all,
I'm trying to establish whether there's any consensus on engine power loss over time. My 2007 N54 has put down around 88,000 miles, but had new turbos and injectors at 60,000. It seems to be running really well. It will still pull strongly uphill in 6th gear from 2,000 rpm, which I appreciate is a characteristic of the engine, but, would the engine likely have felt more 'lively' or 'strong' at, say, 20,000 miles? I only bought the car at 78,000 miles and I guess I haven't felt any change in that short space of time, but what are your thoughts on power loss over time - say out beyong 100,000 miles? The engine has always been serviced at the required intervals or better. I guess I just don't want to think of the engine becoming noticeably weaker over the next couple of years! Anyone had their higher mileage engines dyno tested and been pleasantly surprised by the results??
Cheers,
Rob
