As I investigate, another question comes to mind.

Why would I get this code only when pulling a trailer? Once I wasn’t pulling a trailer, the Dash light is no longer active.

I have a P122C code on my 2009 X35D which points to a NOX sensor short circuit.

Well my oil leak continues. It looks like the intercooler itself. It looks like it's leaking where the plastic end caps secure to the aluminum.

At least now I can do this job rather quickly.

I have an oil leak on the passenger side and suspect charge pipe seals.

How difficult is this job and removal of the charge cooler? Are there any special instructions or tools necessary?

Thumbs up I'm a believer in additives for my 35D

I've never been a fan of fuel or oil additives but I've become a big believer after my recent experience.

Yes, that fixed my issue. My mechanic actually started with installing a new MAF but we still had problems so that's what led him to change the pressure sensor.

He returned the MAF.

So what was the resolution? My x35d threw many of these codes yesterday and is now in reduced power mode.

I pulled and cleaned my EGR but no joy.
