    2013 528i xdrive codes/smell drive chain malfunction

    Engine had a odd odor sometimes when driving. Almost a burning plastic smell. It would come through the vents when I stopped at a light sometimes, sometime very faint small amount of smoke out of the engine bay when done driving.

    Start of winter/cold weather. A drive chain malfunction warning comes on, car goes into limp mode. Takes longer than normal to start, runs fine for about 30 seconds then starts loping, no power. I replaced the spark plugs, didn't fix anything although that needed to be done.

    Here are the following codes I now have form my Scanner:

    P1338-PERMANENT
    P0300-STORED
    P0303 - STORED/PERMANENT
    P0302 - STORED/PERMANENT
    P1338 - PENDING
    P052B - PERMANENT
    P0171 - PERMANENT

    I've looked these up, I know what they are for but it seems to be one thing that is setting it all off. Could it be the CPS or the unit?

    This is posted in the wrong section, there will be low traffic in this subforum

    I would scan and read codes with a BMW capable scanner that reads manufacturer codes. Generic P codes just don't cut it, they're vague and don't have descriptions. The BMW manufacturer codes do. I would read in all modules while at it.
