N54 335i Help needed!!!!

mrkhanna16 · 10-02-2010, 01:08 PM

My car has been having long cranks for the past month or so, and i know for a fact it is the fuel pump because this happened before about 8 months ago. Is there any way to speed up the process for the pump to fail and for the car to go into limp mode so i can go to the dealer and get it replaced. and yes i do have the newest software which they have updated twice.

Thanks guys-appreciate and help you can give to me.

If you tell your dealership you're having long cranks they should be able to replace it immediately. That's what I did

Yeah just take it in and tell them long cranks etc... And Id totally lose the " I know for a fact" attitude. That usually won't get you very far. Tell them whats going on and they will make their own conclusions. Dispute later if ness...probably will be fine.
