Just received a phone call from my dealer (not a letter, strange): they told me that my car is on a recall programm to replace the high pressure fuel pump of the diesel injection system!

That's a bloody expensive piece of equipment and I'm a little worried about traveling all over Italy BEFORE they will replace the pump (scheduled in middle November) living with the risk of having a dead engine somewhere and at any moment. The dealer couldn't give me any detail about the recall.

Anybody else has been contacted for the same reason?

I had the same thing on my 530d - the car was in for 2 days in total as they also upgraded my CIP and replaced the door seals.

I shouldn't worry too much - BMW Assist is there to save the day!

I had the same for my 530d in May 2005. No problem. I think all BMW 6-cylinders diesel cars produced from September 2004 to February 2005 are concerned.

Mines registered March 05 but not sure what the build date is. I suppose I'll just have to wait for my dealer to call unless BMW Uk have "No news is good news" policy. :think:

My car was supposed to be built in late January. If I remember well, they found the problem just at that time and stop the diesel production for about one week.

I finally got my car 3 weeks later. So cars produced later than beginning Feb as mine and yours should no be affected.

the production date on mine is 25/04/2005 so I hope its not affected, but I think I still have to update my CIP since I get a "brake system fault" error message every time I start the car and hold the brake pedal for a second or two too long. Plus my door seals dont seem to be that quiet either.

Thanks FJPM, thinking about it now there was an unknown delay - must have been that! :thumbsup:
