Wait to do HPFP recall?

blown07 · 02-23-2014, 08:03 AM

Anyone else still on their original HPFP that are holding off doing this recall until they get closer to the expiry? Mines an '07 and I'm a believer in "if it ain't broke...." + I hate the thought of the dealership working on my car.

Sounds about right. Mine is a couple months shy of 7 years old and I have never had a single problem with it. I'm going to let it ride. Feel the same way about letting a random tech work on the car.

x2.. I've seen ridiculous things come from dealership techs... but I have an 07 also, and I'm waiting for JB4 and catless DPs to come in, should I have em do it now before I put anything on?

I haven't had any problems yet, but it's seeming like it's not IF it goes bad, but WHEN :/

I would put everything on if I was you. I would think you could do just about any mod that you want and they would be fine with it as long as it doesn't interfere with the work they have to do. I have to admit I'm kinda guessing here as I've never taken my car to the dealership. I don't think mods matter with a recall (with an expired waranty of course) but I would like a second opinion as well...

I would take it in just to be on the "safe-side" .

evoix · 02-25-2014, 12:50 PM

Get it done before you start modding. When it goes out depending on dealership. The mods will have to come out. Double the work

funny, my car has 35,000 on the clock now (2009) and had two HPFP's fail on me so far.

Yea, I've heard the replacements don't always work out so well...

Does the pump have to actually go out before they replace it? Or can I jus take it in??

No they offered to change my original pump under the recall when I did a history check on my car...more money for them from BMW.
This would be my concern that I replace the original and then the replacement ends up going...gonna wait as long as possible
Why would mods have to come off to get it done?

LAFNGAS · 02-25-2014, 05:42 PM

mods shouldnt have to come off as its a BMW known issue and a recall due to it so should be replaced as is however i can imagine its all on how your dealer feels about mods

chepy24 · 02-25-2014, 05:58 PM

how can i check if mine has been replaced already????

I just brought mine in to get this done and am picking it up today. Worked out good for me. They found that i had a small oil leak from the oil filter housing gasket. They offered to fix it for 800, but im gona pass on that one. Time to find a good diy or a cheap bimmer mech

Ya that's way too much. I did the ones on the xi over the Christmas break and it's not very hard but you do need to pull back the intake to get at the one bolt. I replaced the housing to block and housing to cooler lines gasket but probably only needed the housing to block. Each gasket is $30.

It's not 2 hard to do, I got the gaskets for like $12 each from Tischer, jus don't strip any of the bolts... I did, guess which one -.-

Nuthin seems to work bcuz of the space or lack thereof.. Tried one of this bolt removal kits an a bit ended up gettin stuck in there :/ no room to play around with anything too crazy.. got some jb weld curin on it now, ima see if I can get it off tomorrow

An my jb4 an dps jus came in 2 like wtf

Epic fail.... Lady told me that only recall work done was the battery connectors and that there were no open recalls. So I asked what warranty work has been done and after 15 min and 5 people later I get someone on the phone that told me they can't go over that over the phone I need to go with my id for confidentiality.....

what a bloody joke

CptJoe732 · 02-27-2014, 03:52 PM

So who's over 70k and still on there stock hpfp and lpfp. I'm at 74k and didn't see anything changed on my car besides the engine valve gasket and my battery. I do get a long crank every once in a while but logged my pumps and there still where they need to be. I know it could also be a leaky injector but until it misfires I won't know which one.
