09 335i Post March Build Dates with fuel pump problems post here

hsleiman · 07-01-2009, 02:19 AM

Just like the thread title states. Someone in an earlier thread had stated that 09 335i that were built after March come with a revised fuel pump. Link to that thread here:

Let's get to the bottom of this and see if there's any truth to the matter.

Also, any one with an 09 that has had a fuel pump replacement after March feel free to post if your symptoms have returned or if you have had to *God forbid* get yet another fuel pump replacement.

Mine is a march build with almost 3,000 miles and i have no problems. I only use Shell V-Power Gasoline though.

Same here on the V power. It won't save you

BzzzBom · 07-02-2009, 07:25 PM

March 11 build date with no problems.

i think one of the funniest things is people thinking shell gasoline will save you.

Drakos · 07-03-2009, 01:20 AM

Funny thing is that a year from now, there will be a new poll on pump failures and we will see if Shell is all it's cut out to be. I frankly think that it is just a piece of crap HPFP. Doesn't matter what bloody gas you put in it. BTW, Mar 09 build with 2500kms and no probs yet. Also Shell only FTW.

Tuned335i · 07-03-2009, 01:58 AM

I am sure BMW has this data already, since they know where every single failed HPFP is located (hell, they probably use that data to determine how many HPFP's to stock in a particular region), but it would be interesting if someone started a database of the location of all the failed fuel pumps and the percentage of ethanol in the gas in that location. I would really like to know if there any legitimate correlation between % of ethanol in the gas and number of HPFP failures in a given location.

So many other systems in the car are really well designed that I just can't believe that the failures are simply a shitty design - that they would take so little care as to produce a part that fails so often. IMO it's some sort of external factor (like the high % of additives in various regional markets).

Just an opinion, worth exactly what you paid for it LOL!!!
