New to me S65
hello all,
just purchased a 2008 S65. with the 2010 light mod, it has 26k miles. I been looking around at all the good information on here and wanted to ask a question. What should i be looking for as far as trouble goes? I have a check engine light that came on after a little rough start, not sure if it has been tuned or not but it kind of sounded like my tuned GTR. i have attached a few pics for your review.

Congrats for ur new ride. I would check the the engine codes first. It might be just clogged cats or worse, coil packs or ignition transformer. Enjoy the ride.

Congrats on the ride. I had the same problem recently and one of the coil packs needed replacement. Check the numbers on your packs……updated #'s should read:

Left # A275 150 07 80 Q3
Right # A275 150 06 80 Q3
