lawnchairboy Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Just blew its top on the fuel pump, leaking all over. Last time they fixed the RT gratis, we’ll see this time. Link to comment
TEWKS Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Well, That Sort Of Bites! Good luck with the fix. Link to comment
beemer chuck Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 If it is the plastic disconnect above the reinforcement collar that broke, you can get a metal replacement from Beemer Boneyard. Your dealer will want to replace the pump assembly, which will still have that plastic fitting. I have replaced 3 of these that broke after dealers installed the steel reinforcing collars during the recall campaign. Why BMW used that plastic part instead of the metal one makes no sense at all.

lawnchairboy Posted April 12, 2019 Author Share Posted April 12, 2019 Not under the recall. Expensive. A local shop replaced my 06' RT fuel pump under the recall without charge, not lucky this time. Same shop, decent people. Link to comment
Dann Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 During the recall campaign, they fixed the issue by putting a reinforcement ring on my 07. (it was cracked but not leaking at the time) 2 yrs ago it started leaking. I brought it back to the dealer and they replaced the pump assembly at no charge. YMMV Link to comment
lawnchairboy Posted April 16, 2019 Author Share Posted April 16, 2019 That's what they did with my RT. Link to comment
Dave_in_TX Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Since it was a real recall, it still should be covered. Link to comment
