ANYBODY HAVING OR HAD THIS ERROR CODE ON I DRIVE? MY CAR IS GETTING CRAZY, HARSH SHIFTING ENGINE PERFORMANCE IS BAD AND SUDDEN ENGINE STALL.

MY CAR IS E60 525I 2006 MODEL. THE DEALER SAID THAT THIS CANT BE REAL. THEY SAID THAT 5 SERIES NEVER HAD ANY FUEL PUMP FAULT.

Thanks.

 

So what did the dealer say or do to remedy the problem?? Nothing can be classified as "never". On a side note, my buddy's 335i is still waiting for a fuel pump that's been on order since god knows when. Appearantly, lots of new 3-series have the fuel pump issue.

 

When high-pressure fuel pumps are malfunctioning or breaking, the car will generally jerk and sputter if you give it too much throttle - it can deliver enough fuel for idling and light throttle, but past that the delivery will be choppy and sporadic. Would be pretty jerky limping around like that.


As for the dealer response - that has zero chance of getting anyone any closer to resolving the problem... the car is still "broken" isn't it? Just hand them the car and tell them, "great Einstein... it's not the fuel pump then. You still have to tell me what's wrong with it... and fix it. Get to it!"

 

MANUFACTURER WARRANTY!!!

Hand them the car...get a loaner...and wait for the call that say's your car is ready. Been meaning to drive soemwhere far? Perfect with a loaner...lol.

 

unfortunately, BMW local dealer has stooped loaner option. they claimed users ubuse is the main reason. no body nows why this applied for everyone?????i am not sure if BMW Germany is a ware of this either?

 

EVERYONE, THANKS FOR YOUR INPUTS.

 

FINALLY my BMW fuel pump failed in the middle of the high way :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown: :thumbsdown:

 

Thell them to fix it ASAP !

 

Well, at least it should be easier to diagnose now that it's totally dead. I'd rack that up to fluke... a defective part. Those really shouldn't be going bad, however I'd expect any competent mechanic to be able to recognize the symptoms of a failing pump on a test drive.
