2008 335i fuel pump replaced

Z06M3 · 01-01-2008, 10:01 PM

I recently got my car back from a failing fuel pump and a brake light that was on the dash. The car thought I had 400,000 miles on the brakes when I don't even have 1000 on the car. Not even a month with my car and in the shop she went. Anyone else having problems with their 08? I took delivery in Dec. To top things off someone from the dealership stole my license plate lights and when the dealer installed the new ones they replaced them with the 07 lights. Happy New Year!

PaulBailey@ltbmw · 01-01-2008, 10:05 PM

Wow! That sucks! I would complain to the dealership about the light issue and hopefully that will be the last of the issues you have with the car. But bummer to hear about the fuel pump, i figured they would have solved the problem with the 08's.
Goodluck

I thought the fuel pump issue was out the door for the 08s. Anyone else with fuel pump issues for the 08s??? Just curious....

I took delivery of my 08 335xi sedan nov. 15th. I think my fuel mpump is starting to go cause im getting the long cranks everytime i start in the morning. Got a yellow engine light the other day for lowered engine power, i dont know whter i should bring it to the dealership yet. I checked with my obd2 computer and i have no codes. dont know if theyll replace my pump unless i have codes....anyone know? The long cranks only happens when the car sits for a few hours. lata

It's worth bringing in for a check, you have the symptoms and you don't want to get stranded. When/if you get it replaced, maybe you should ask the brand/model of the pump. We were led to believe that the Siemens pumps were dropped in favor of the Bosch units but I'm thinking maybe some of the Siemens pumps made it into 08 models.

I have an 08 and my pump failed at about 500 miles, so yes the problem still exists. I didn't get any codes, I just had the long cranks. The dealer checked the pressure and it was too low, they changed the fuel pump out the same day. So before your car leaves you stranded go get it replaced.

Yea, as I said, the pumps are still failing, but the bullshit about them stealing something off your car. That is crime, no matter which way you look at. Go back and demand they put the LEDs back in or you are going to call BMWNA. I think someone at the dealer probably has an 07 and thought they would steal your LEDs and you wouldn't notice. I would raise hell, it's the principle of thing more than anything...

I took delivery of my E92 in July, and the fuel pump failed last Monday. Went into limp mode, and the infamous "engine malfunction, reduced power" light came up.
Took it in and they said it was a faulty high pressure pump. They replaced it and i got my car back yesterday. Runs fine right now, for now at least.

So I have had enough of my 2008 BMW 335XI, and I've finally decided to claim Lemon on the Vehicle. I've been through the following Parts:

3 High Pressure Fuel Pumps
1 Fuel Pressure Sensor
1 Fuel Rail Pressue Sensor

What's the deal with the fuel delivery systems on these vehicles? When I claim Lemon I have the ability to get a new 335XI OR I can upgrade. Any issues with the X6 High Pressure Fuel Pumps (on the twin turbo model) or any thing I should know about the M3s? I'm seriously thinking of upgrading.

I've been blogging about my experience below if anyone wants to follow it:

What the hell's so funny about it??? Some of us 2008 e90 owners thought we were free and clear of this HPFP failure crap. Nothing funny about that, friend.

BimmerGuyFL · 01-26-2009, 02:42 PM

God don't tell me that I got my car this past weekend, Saturday and my car sometimes has long cranks LOL.........Taking it in on Feb 3rd.......

GME92 · 01-26-2009, 03:14 PM

I just had my fuel pump replaced and now, a week later, I have a red BRAKE light with the car raised up on a platform icon on my dash...

PeteW84 · 01-26-2009, 03:47 PM

I have an 08 with apr. 4,500 miles on it. I don't really drive it that much, weekend/toy car and never had a single problem with it. I only use Shell V-Power

am_ver · 01-26-2009, 03:52 PM

I skipped the 335i because of the issues you've experienced in your blog. Sorry to read about all that.

tibra1 · 08-26-2010, 02:02 AM

VERY IMPORTANT

Guys please report the HFPF issue to the National Highway Traffic Safety Association..Here is the link.

https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/ivoq/Complaint.cfm

The more complaints they receive the more likely that they could force BMW to issue a recall and fix this problem once and for all.

There is also an online petition to get our voices heard about the HPFP problems with our cars..PLEASE spread this around..get as many people to sign as possible.. I just did

http://www.petitiononline.com/fixpump/petition.html

Also this problem is finally starting to get some media attention so we need to make a stink to the rest of the world and not just here on the forums. Check this article out...
