...Flex Fuel tune. I don’t baby my car at all. Its sees plenty of wide open driving every chance I get.
No problems with mine so hard to say what happened with yours. Maybe detonation or a piston ring broke from a faulty oilpump. The 2-ports have the plastic oilpump that has been problematic...
f series bmws have been using the plastic oilpump adjustment rings forever, including in the m cars. on the supra there are 3 versions:
plastic ring, plastic vacuum cover (mahle)
plastic ring, metal vacuum cover (omp)
metal ring, metal vacuum cover (omp)
the middle one is the one with issues
...it before:
According to that info, the revision index 05/06 distinction isn't relevant to our cars. That part is the 11-41-8-646-454 "oilpump" used in things like the 740i and X7.
The part that matters to us is the "oil vacuum pump", part numbers 11-41-8-646-453 (bad plastic) and...
Exactly.
Yes, exactly. Sorry I didn't share the whole document, I just wanted to keep the dealership and my friend anonymous since I am pretty sure this isn't supposed to be shared for public consumption. But I just cropped the dealer info out.... we need this to keep our cars on the road...
...information I’ve seen posted here or on the BMW forums thus far. A few thoughts…
Is BMW outlining two separate types of oilpumps, one with a vacuum pump (11 41 9 895 359), and one without (11 41 8 646 454 index 06+)? A quick check on a BMW parts website confirms this is likely the case...
That is to make sure the car has had the brake recall performed (which is a software update). The oilpump is part of that system and the I level before 20-11-500 has not had the software update yet.
If you have had the brake recall performed or your I level has been updated (like I did myself)...
I wonder if the software update is absolutely needed. Would you be able to
do it yourself or would you need to take it to a dealer and possibly have the DME locked if you're tuned? Another thing to worry about. o_O
...plan on this job, or get it covered under warranty ASAP.
Wow, I wish that was my experience. My local BMW dealership wanted $835 for the oilpump with a commercial account, Toyota wanted $800... $720 with my employee discount ;)
Maybe you can start a business here selling the cheap pumps to...
...sometimes just flog a sub optimal concept to death instead of just stepping back to tried and true solutions. Hopefully the B58 oilpump is an example of that reverting back to a metal control sleeve.
Kelly Johnston the genius aeronautical engineer responsible for the design of the U2 and...
To add onto this too, to those who can't get it covered under warranty you can also purchase the BMW Z4's oilpump P/N instead. Costed me around $450 as opposed to going to Toyota who wanted $1100 alone for the pump.
First, just want to say your YouTube channel is fantastic. Second, a DIY with your typical level of detail on the B58 oilpump replacement would be *amazing*.
I have an early production (March 2020) MY2021 that I imagine has the faulty design. The car sees less than 1000 miles a year so who...
...a thread from a few months ago, but wanted to follow up since I didn't see it mentioned anywhere. There is a superseded part # for the oilpump. The earlier models featured a plastic adjusting ring. The plastic can break, so even though you still have oil pressure, it isn't near what is being...
2021 supra build date 7/20, had the oilpump replaced after showing high oil pressure and had a code for it. Plastic oilpump turned out to be cracked after taken out.
Hi,
is there anyone here that replaced oilpump on their 2020/21 supras?
just wondering bc i have a 2020 and people are saying that the oilpump on a 2020 or early 21s are bad / made of plastic.
I understand what you’re saying but it just seems like an unnecessary gamble, to me at least. If they try to replace another part after the control valve I’ll get more involved
