Fuel pump died at 2706 miles :/

persian54 · 07-13-2009, 04:55 PM

my SA said "no the 09s have the HPFP issue fixed don't worry"

guess he forgot to mention thats only for after march 09 build dates

2706 miles... fuel pump failure...great...

I'm also suppose to get a new tranny.... all at under 3k miles!!!!

My car's going to be at the dealer i bought it at (not the one near my house)
they seem to know more and also treat me better.

great :/

and I was going to actually install my STETT CAI and PROcede sometime this week...
Guess I'll wait until August

Tough luck, buddy. Mine's only at 6K miles and I hope HPFP doesn't fail me as well... I haven't done much research into the HPFP either. *sigh* I would just hate it if HPFP failed and I needed to revert back to stock to return to dealership.

In a way I'm happy cause if they replace it now, hopefully it won't happen again...

i was going to head to my gf's today (which is about 30 miles away versus my home which is only 10 miles away from work)

glad i decided not to

at first it was just the CEL that was on
on my way home the whole "engine malfucntion, reduced power" etc
and the car drop weird...

i mean, if i got stuck, I'd just call BMW assist

but it's still a burn

my dad is like "you pay 60k for a car and this happens" "we only pay X amount for the Caddy and nothing has really happened"

i didnt have a response to him

Tell him this is what my BMW think about your cadillac!

On another note.. Damn you may have a lemon on your hands.. hpfp and a replaced transmission within the first 7,000 miles?!

I tell people high performance means high maintenance... it is not a simple car to get from point A to point B. It has very high tech parts and components that are more likely to fail. That plus I drive my car/s pretty hard!

Not that I personally believe all that, but it does keep them impressed and off the hater-wagon.

Kroy · 07-13-2009, 05:49 PM

HAHAHA. The caddy commend nearly made me lol. I was actually thinking it may be more beneficial to have my HPFP die on me early too. I drive the 335i kind of hard already, so maybe I should just ride the crap out of it and try to get my HPFP replaced before installing anything. :P

persian54 · 07-13-2009, 05:59 PM

well it's not just a regular caddy lol

it's a CTS-V....
so it's a quick, high performance car too....

RambleJ · 07-13-2009, 06:01 PM

New CTS-V or the previous model?

persian54 · 07-13-2009, 06:03 PM

07 (or was it 06? keep forgetting)

DR_E92 · 07-13-2009, 08:00 PM

i drove my car hard yesterday... next thing i know.. fuel pump. gotta uninstall my couple of mods tomorrow before taking it to the stealership.

but for some reason the check engine light went away after like 3 miles

persian54 · 07-13-2009, 10:42 PM

I'm happy I'm still modless cause I'm lazy lol

those fuel pumps will keep on failing, they seem to get worst with "Bmw's revised fuel pumps"
