Well, shit

Boxster had a hard time starting today, then it misfires and gave me this on the way home. Limp mode, only able to do about 65mph, then only 45. I ran a few tests using the Durametric tool and its got low pressure out of the HPFP. apparently not only BMW DI engines have issues with them. Meanwhile our mazdaspeed with a direct injection engine is on its original pump after more than three times the mileage.

Annoying.

zee germans engineer everything perfectly. Must be the way you 'Merican's drive it.:)

yeah bummer, waiting for a issue with my turbo:eeps:

I read a theory somewhere that never running the tank low may improve pump life. I'm crossing my fingers with the X3.

I got lucky with it just being a relay that triggered a light in the m3 the other day. When it threw the SMG light I started wondering if it was time for a manual swap. :ack:

That sucks. How big a job is it to replace? And do 9A1 engines need walnut blasting?

Drop it off and I'll send you the bill.

:D

Sorry man that stinks.

Arghh :ack: that stinks by any chance do you have a warranty ?

Bummer. That sucks.

I've heard of this before for the 987.2. Logically, 981's should suffer from it as well.

John V 08-01-2017 08:02 AM

Looks like roughly a 4hr job. Not too bad. 850 in parts with a core charge. Ugh.

No warranty.

Going to do it yourself?
