Consumer Description

SUFFERED FROM HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP FAILURE. THE CAR WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET WHEN IT HAD A DRIVETRAIN MALFUNCTION. PULLED VEHICLE OVER AND TURNED OFF AND VEHICLE WOULD NOT START AGAIN. WHEN TAKE TO REPAIR SHOP FOR DIAGNOSIS IT WAS THE HIGH PRESSURE FUEL PUMP MALFUNCTION. ALSO FOR SOME REASON THE FUEL PUMP THAT WAS INSTALLED IN THE CAR HAD A CONNECTION BIGGER THAN THE REPLACEMENT PART DATABASE. THE CONNECTORS PLUG SIZE WAS FOR AN 8 CYLINDER VEHICLE AND THE CAR IS ONLY A 4 CYLINDER. THE REPLACEMENT PART WAS DIFFICULT TO FIND DUE TO DIFFERENCE IN SIZE OF CONNECTION PLUG. ALSO BMW IS SELLING THE REPLACEMENT PART FOR $1300 RIDICULOUS. JUST THE PUMP ITSELF.
