Has your fuel pump failed

richardew · 09-16-2008, 08:13 AM

Let's see if we can get some data on this issue.

Bimmerista · 09-16-2008, 08:46 AM

I think you'll have a sample problem.

There is always sampling error when you attempt to describe a population based on a sample of the population.

Bimmerista · 09-16-2008, 09:04 AM

Quite true, but its not what I said: you will have a sample problem bcs you will not get enough participants to be able to draw any conclusion from your poll.

Frosty · 09-16-2008, 09:58 AM

I have had 2 replaced so far in 55,000 miles... ~Frost

EDK99 · 09-16-2008, 10:04 AM

Yep died after 33k. About 2k before my 2nd service where it would of been replaced under a TSB.

FotiosF90M5 · 09-16-2008, 10:05 AM

no problems at all. 25k on the clock. 12/06 build.

dreamk · 09-16-2008, 10:08 AM

4 months after i got my car i used to get long cranks for about two weeks straight. after that not anymore guess it fixed itself

ians · 09-16-2008, 10:44 AM

Limp mode on 9000km (Jan 08 build), dealer told me my fuel bump is going to fail soon but since it is not totally fail yet, so they can't replace it for me under warranty. But they will replace it when I got the limp mode again.

That sucks. So whatever causes the pumps to fail hasn't been addressed. What dates were these replaced?

gtrokin330 · 09-16-2008, 11:58 AM

my 08 e92 335 just went in for fuel pump. and unfortunately they have to update software

shaddai · 09-16-2008, 11:59 AM

No technical "failure" but it did throw a code (2FBF) and "SIB 125506" was performed. Three long cranks to date. I somehow doubt that a software update will fix this issue.

It's american fuel, other countries dont have a problem.

So suck it up... maybe a free deregulated market isn’t the way forward.

Potty_Pants · 09-16-2008, 01:56 PM

May 07 build pump failure August 2008 9K miles.

Year's_End · 09-16-2008, 02:22 PM

Replaced under warranty.

RockstarDoc · 09-16-2008, 05:23 PM

No failed fuel pump, but I didn't wait for it to happen either. Being stranded on the road or in the middle of a road trip doesn't sound to appealing, so I sold the car even though I thought it was an awesome ride. From the stories on here already, I'm sure there's worse outside of this forum we don't hear from.

munu · 09-16-2008, 05:28 PM

Maybe you can add an option where it was replaced but not because of issue but due to recall.
I think most of the people with early 07 cars, got it replaced because of recall. I was one of them....

thats what I thought as well. Car fixed itself (with no long cranks anymore). Then leaving work in the evening one day - long crank, shaky car.. and then engine malfunction light.

Take her to the stealership.

am_ver · 09-16-2008, 06:01 PM

07 coupe failed at 6k miles
08 vert failed at 8k miles (symptoms started at 4k)

alan93rsa · 09-16-2008, 06:04 PM

Some people on here have had more fuel pumps than I've had ex-wives.

With a Feb 08 build and 5000 mi. I'm still working on the first pump.
