No 335d in Evo

themetz · 11-01-2010, 10:28 AM

I was brought up to believe the "number two" rule was to quite simply wipe until clean. Has certainly helped me to keep skid marks to a minimum.

Veg mate fact is 335i are in for fuel pumps, injectors, coil plugs, wastegates and
unfortunately sometimes turbo's pretty regularly!

Still a great car!

How about we ask the pilot of a single engine airplane if a fuel pump failure causing the propeller to stop moving is an engine failure or not.....?

It isn't. You'd switch to the reserve tank fed by a separate pump and land ASAP.

Well, unless you are flying a FADEC airplane and the alternator dies as well.

xenon · 11-01-2010, 11:56 AM

OK, then you've got yourself an engine failure....

kaishang · 11-01-2010, 11:58 AM

Or lets keep it simple as just assume your single carburettor blocks up

First Fuel Pump

Has done 14k miles and 5 months since last coil/plug/injector episode.

Dealer has been spot on to be fair, straight into a 330d LCI e92 for a few days.

That's pretty likely to be through neglect....

What we have is someone who will do anything to "prove" he's right despite rather crushing evidence to the contrary and will carry on bleating like some ignored squawky school kid until the end of time.

Matt - writing this kind of stuff reflects very badly on you.

I thought it was:

1) Do NOT use Warranty Direct to "support" your argument.
2) Refuse to face facts

surely, then 'why' and 'what' should be 3) and 4) respectively

Em135eye · 11-01-2010, 03:04 PM

metz - you've got me there! I should have used a) b) c) etc

1) Because it makes you sound petty, defensive and immature.
2) I think you may be better than that.

1) I am petty, defensive and immature
2) I'm not better than that. I'm an irritating twunt.

Thanks for 2) though. Appreciated.
