Just off the phone ...

... re-call for fuel pump

 

For your 7 i presume? still sat waiting for the call + had to go to dealers to get them to even find out about it,they looked like a load of aliens had landed!!! Whens yours going in m8 and where in the UK are you?

 

Yes indeed, it is a 7.

The dealer said they'd had the fax through this afternoon advising them to re-call.

I'll mail you with the rest

YWHMIACOM

you will have mail in a couple of minutes

 

Great, booked mine in for service in a couple of weeks and asked them to chase up the fuel pump. All I need now is for the Prodrive springs to arrive!!!!

 

Good news I think it won't be long before the majority of Dealers are aware of it

UKtype,

Rumours(not from Prodrive) are that Eibach have the "Prodrive" spring spec's for STi7 & 8 are manufacturing them we speak so maybe available in April ish

Tony

Springs for the 8 will be a little while after the 7, but what do you care

Josh

 

Josh,
I wouldn't want you shake you lenses(camera) out with cheap versions LOL

Tony

 

spoke to my dealer earlier this week, no recall yet i was told then, hope they ring soon
mark

 

Nump,

So is there going to be a recall notice or will the dealers just do it as the cars come back for a service?

Ta,

Matt

P.S. See ya on Sat

 

I phoned Whites in Cirencester yesterday, they knew nothing....

They phoned me this morning to say they've now been informed that they will need to change fuel pumps on all 3 STi7 PPP's that they've done. They will ring me when they have the pumps in to arrange to get it done. Good news!!

Perhaps a bit premature, I guess I should wait until they've got the pumps in before celebrating. Perhaps they'll have springs too and we can do them both together - no don't push me luck....

 

Just called SGT - they already had mine on order ! Outstanding service !!

may even let me play with sti8 whilst I wait...

 

Is that only for cars with the PPP though?

What about standard cars, will they be changed and are the pumps different in the STi8?

phil

 

Tony,

I'm waiting for the springs also, dunno if I should order them now!

 

Phil,

Fuji state the the OE pump is up to the job on the standard 7 & 8 so no, the pump is only for the PPP. Unfortunately, you can't buy one either, unless you have the PPP

Matt.

 

I could swear I posted this on the fuel pump thread in drivetrain at least a couple of weeks ago

 

Also been told all outstanding PPP orders on hold until issue resolved!!!!!

 

Imp,
I don't think you have been correctly informed, IIRC, many peeps with STi7's have had PPP, with the new pump as part of pack, fitted since febuary IMHO

Dave,
Fuel pump thread in drivetrain !!!! I must have miss it LOL

Tony

 

PPP and pump all fitted here

Not quite what I was hoping for, but my car wasn't exactly 'out of the box' before fitment so mustn't grumble.

 

when i rang the dealer i was told that it was only a few sti 7`s that needed fuel pumps changed, and after checking my chassis number said mine did not need it, anyone else been told the same and do i belive them or get it checked by another dealer.

 

Big Goon,
glad your happy now ( ps nice bit of editing

Dave,
I believe ALL STi7 PPP's are to be done

Tony

 

that's lucky... I get my PPP fitted on Friday?

Does it need to be run in again or can I nail straight out of the garage?

Phil

 

Nail it. There's nothing new that needs running in.

 

Think they do,went to my dealer last week and they showed me the fax,Name ,number ,the lot.BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING!!! hehe

 

Just had a PPP fitted to my MY02 STI today (I allowed someone else to queue jump or it would have been earlier) and saw the new fuel pump being fitted (saw most of the process actually).

The mechanic (who I respect a lot) advised that when you go back for the recall, or to have a PPP fitted for the first time, you should have no more than a third full petrol tank. It is amazing just how much petrol can slop around removing and fitting the new pump, stinking out the car as well as being a danger. Mine had to be part drained as it was two thirds full.

He removed the back seat (both parts) to get a clean access to the pump and prevent any spillage onto the foam padding. All this takes time so it isn't quite a "wait and have a cuppa" job.

There appears to be a shortage of downpipes and that is adding to the delays for MY02 PPP's.

My view of the PPP ..... oh yesssssssssssss!

Are IM going to extend the warranty on these vehicles that have now been running around since September with inadequate fuel pumps? Det damage can be present without an immediate failure ocuring.

having just re-read this thread http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/threa...=138820&Page=4 it would suggest the tester/testing processes were too kind/inadequate if they didnt find this problem afterall.

Mike also hasnt met his goal of the spec not being changed post release, on something as simple as fuel flow rates that's quite disapointing after such extended testing pre release.

I havent had a reply to my questions in the main fuel pump thread in drivetrain and Simon hasnt got back to me on showing me what testing they do at warwick either, which is a shame, i would like to see how they went about testing this kit. http://www.scoobynet.co.uk/bbs/threa...170888&Page=12

I best send Simon a mail direct.

 

Hi Matt

Sorry, I’ve been helluva busy at work and missed this before the weekend. My understanding is that there isn’t going to be a recall notice as such. The reason is that, I believe, PPP purchasers aren’t recorded on an IM maintained database.

Each dealer has / will receive a fax asking them to contact PPP customers and advise them individually (I could be wrong but ….)

Nice to meet you on Saturday – some pics here

Dave T-S,

I’ve tried to follow that post as time would allow (sorry, might have missed something). I felt, however, that it was worthwhile to post in ‘General’ that I’d actually had the call.
