1200$ for a HPFP Replacement?? WTF

E90MTL · 09-04-2009, 01:26 PM

I just called my dealer here in Montreal and they quoted me 1200$ CAD to replace my HPFP.

No I do not have a warranty (vandalised and rebuilt title)

Does anyone know what is involved in replacing my HPFP. I mean I am very mechanicaly able. (done a few tear-downs, and turbo installs on my own)

I mean is that little fkin bugger really 637$. + nuts, bolts, gaskets?? geez.

There was a do it yourself posted here (I think by AMS), that you could probably take to an independent shop to get a quote for labor. The cheapest place I have seen the pump is at Tischer BMW, getbmwparts.com.

I had my HPFP replaced under warranty, the dealers invoice to bmw was around $700.

Eric@AMS · 09-04-2009, 02:34 PM

I am the one that wrote up the HPFP install and its really not that hard to do yourself and requires fairly basic tools Most of which can be used for future jobs on the N54.

Universal_Magnetic · 09-04-2009, 02:37 PM

get the part from tischer and get it done at an independent shop. dealership is going to scam you.

dlbrooks18 · 09-04-2009, 04:02 PM

yea just order the part and find a good independent shop.. dealerships are having trouble selling cars and as a result raising labor rates

blisstik · 09-04-2009, 04:23 PM

What a grip. Too bad AMS/CP-E isn't done with their HPFP replacement. Would be a good time to get theirs instead.

Jonny550 · 09-04-2009, 04:29 PM

i think on tischer its like 280-380 dollars i cant remember and than take it to like a good shop around you and theyll prolly work out like $50 an hour or somethin.

DIY for sure!!!

Highflyr · 09-04-2009, 09:48 PM

Good DIY but there's no need to take off the intake manifold, or microfilter. All you need a long allen like the one pictured.

^ that car looks familiar

oh my god, dual cones and warranty service going on.....the humanity!

Good thing that wasn't my car

E90MTL · 09-05-2009, 12:27 PM

So it's decided then. I'm doing it myself.

Ticher for the parts
Stella Artois for the suport
And my best friend... for all the hard to reach things that I'll be too lazy to reach for.

Thanks guys, this forum is by far the best in terms of response time and quality of help compared to the plenty of others I was on when I had my Nissan's, Toyota's, Merkur's.
