PZP Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 R1200RT: Wonderful... have been dealing with annual fuel strip failures, fuel pump control module failures (even had one of the "new" modules fail), and now I have cracks around the quick disconnect. NHTSA has begun an investigation into these leaks. Wonder how long it will take to complete, and if BMW has to do a recall how long that will take. Gonna try the JB Weld and Beemer Bone Yard collar thing for now. Link to comment
dirtrider Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Afternoon PZP Contact your dealer first before trying a home repair. Some of the more customer conscious dealers are doing warranty repair on those failing fuel pump assemblies. Link to comment
PZP Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Ooops, wish you had posted that just a little sooner... just ordered the collar from the Beemer Bone Yard. Didnt know any dealers were trying to help. Link to comment
dirtrider Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Afternoon PZP Try your dealer even though you bought the collar. You can always re-sell that collar on this site's classifieds. Link to comment
PZP Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Will do. Even if the dealer will replace the housing, I might put the collar on because I'm sure they havent changed the design yet. Link to comment
dirtrider Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Afternoon PZP Actually from what I have seen the design is changed & the new part has a crimped on metal collar (hat) to reinforce the area that is cracking. Link to comment
PZP Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Okay, thanks dirtrider Link to comment
10ovr Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 If the dealer wont cover it and you are going to do the repair ,Make sure you coat the female and the male treads with JB Weld,,Screw it in as tight as you can by hand ( don't wipe of excess ) then tighten clamp,,Let set for 24 hours,,, Link to comment

Good to know if I need one. I don't think he'll sell you one. I would think he has a exclusive agreement with beemerboneyard. Link to comment
