Hi,

Has anyone else's car had this recall work done. Circa 2004 or 05. Mine is a UK market car, but maybe same for USA as well?

Recall code 0016350100 Resistor for Fuel Pump. May involve some wiring work as well.

Any help would be appreciated. This is to do with another problem post I have running at present.

I still have the invoice for the work with my car history (from when the previous owner had it), so will be doing some digging tomorrow. Done at a different BMW dealer than my local one...

Thanks 8)
 
There is a resistor on the body earth side of the fuel pump wiring. It is mounted on the right hand side of the boot behind the carpet. The resistor can fail causing the fuel pump to lose its earth. The modification just removes the resistor. There are two connectors on it which allow it to be bypassed easily. I own a garage and have had several Z4s in with apparent fuel pump failure which turned out to be this resistor. Needless to say I've removed it on my own car!
 
Hi, thanks for the reply.
Tallies with the work that was done on the car at recall (45 mins labour) regarding the resistor.
This also explains the problems I am having with the apparent fuel pump failure, which BMW have mis-diagnosed (on another problems post)... I would have thought they would have known about this common fault. :roll:
