FUEL PUMP problem

Zuzu · 07-25-2008, 01:48 AM

Still waiting for the part to arrive from germany..

What I read on another forum was that BMW has recalled all the fuel pumps in spare parts world wide, as some of the replacements have the faulty diaphram as well.

I just got my 135 back after 2 days @ the dealer, and they said they "tweeked" the software, but could find nothing wrong w/ the fuel pump, and it was starting normally for them.
Guess what? Next AM,..it took about 4-5 seconds to start. Seems to only do it when it's been sitting overnight. Car just turned 1500 miles,..have not gone into limp mode yet, but the car doesnt feel quite as powerful as when I first got it. (I might just be getting used to it though)
Anyone else out there w/ the hard starting problem?

Oh yes.
i have the exact same problem as you.

My dealer told me there is not an update to fix it yet, but when one is released they would let me know.

Very selfish questions, but does this mean the 1's being built now have had this issue corrected?

Who nows..:iono:

The fuel pump on all 135's was supposedly the "updated" pump.
