135i HPFP failure!

tylerh269 · 09-29-2010, 01:27 PM

Just had my first engine malfunction today on the way back from lunch, I was cruising at about 35mph and and felt the car shake for a meer second and malfunction sign appeared and went into limp mode, and I thought i was gonna be the first 135 to never experience since, but in the past month i have noticed long cranks in the morning and very rough idle and i knew it was a matter of time, i just hope this wont happen often after they replace it with the second one, btw I HAVE 28K on the car now

You had a good run...

I'm starting to notice a 1-3sec cranks only in the morning. I hope its not the fuel pump but from what I've read, this is the start of a downward spiral. I too have missed the perverbial bullet cause I have about 25k miles on mine. Now its just a matter of time til this pump bites the dust, just hope it happens when I'm less than a half hour from a dealership. Right now my closest one is an hour away.

Yea mine did the same and had to replace HPFP at about 21K.

just had my second HPFP replacement at 51K miles. The first was at about 20K. I was an hour from the dealership. That drive is painful! Stalled several times in rush-hour traffic stop/go.

128i FTW. No problems here. Where is the class action lawsuit? Seriously a fuel pump is the problem? This is outrageous! Can't wait to see the piston walls after 60k miles.

been there done that at 32k, it seems fairly common. i hope mine doesnt go out at 51k, that would be the worst(just out of warrany at 50k).

Fuel pump warranty has been extended to 100k.

should be extended for the LIFE of the car

Or design the part so that doesn't last a maximum of 30k miles.

Mine died two weeks ago. Expected return to service next week.
