and back in the shop by breakfast.... j/k
I heard that they are replacing it with the same pump...at least that's what my dealership told me...just go get you guys on the road, and then when they mass produce a better pump...they'll issue a recall...

The part number will be the same. There was just a bad run on them. It is a part inside and not the whole part. If we had access the Siemens database, we would be able to see all the part numbers that make up the main part number and look for that difference.

They just called and told me its done, so I am using lunch break to pick up the car, I will talk to the mechanic and parts to see if I can confirm the part number. But since they ordered me a brand new car as a collateral exchange, all I need is for this car to last me till the new one comes in (late august at best).
You guys have no idea how hard its been in beautiful weather to drive without turbos. To quote someone's avatar on here (forget who), twin-turbo power is something to be shared |

No. He posted awhile back what he is getting. I think it was an E92.

4 days? U got retards working there, it shouldn't take a qualified tech more than 2 hours to replace a fuel pump...unless they had to do tests and reprogram it or something..

supposedly they had all sorts of large expensive test equiptment hooked up to it for a lot of the time... the only response I got from them is that they said it "took a few days to work out the bugs"

You can pick up a Walbro fuel pump for lik3 $80-85 and not have to worry about it anymore. Also, I also make sure the dealer knows NOT to detail my car...it always costs me about $250 to have the car buffed out when they're done with their swirl marks.
