As far as I know the oilpump has a failsafe mode in which it gives you very high oil pressure. In my case, when it failed I was seeing abnormally high oil pressure, for example up to 115PSI on WOT or partial throttle. The car would also throw a code for this as a result.
Nah they basically just told me we can't do warranty work for something that hasn't failed yet, I gave them receipts of others that have had the problem with unable to read at 18% and other cases, but still the same answer.
I just want to get this over with if it ever happens.
Even if its only...
...are coming up on the end of our warranties?
I'm only trying to get a general consensus since it's a bipolar issue - "replace the plastic oilpump asap before it fails!" and "it's fine, don't worry about it"
I don't remember the fail to measure posts back then, but I do remember the 21's...
So, you just say hey, I think there’s like this really really really small chance my oilpump may fail how about you all replace it just in case? Did they think it was a joke?
i have warranty waiting and on the ready if my oilpump does fail.. Tried asking if we can do a precautionary warranty work but they wouldn't budge and states only when it fails it will be warrantied.
Mine fails to mesure oil from time to time, but i have regular oil pressure on idle 40 psi and WOT around 80 psi. Doesn't throw any codes, so I'm keeping it for now until I see it act up then ill probably switch to a metal pump.
There appears to be a growing concern for those of us with 2020/2021 owners who have the OEM plastic oilpump. While some have had this replaced by Toyota under warranty ONLY after it has failed, some are replacing them with the all-metal revised unit as a precautionary measure to avoid...
Many of the videos of people pulling their old oilpumps apart shows that no internals were broken and all appears to be functioning as it should, I think maybe one person who had their oilpump replaced had an oil pressure warning with a check engine light. There was another thread (can't...
Ahhh... ok, so the system dynamically adjusts the pressure all the time and it wasn't anymore, because of the failure, basically defaulting to a high pressure state. Ok makes me feel better. Thanks for the explanation.
AFAIK, the pump is designed to fail to high pressure. The system is PID controlled. Which, btw makes it a joy (in a good way) in tuning. I think that "Found that adjust max oil pressure test fails" means the PID system was no longer effective in dynamic pressure changes because of the failed...
I just went thru the oilpump issue with my 2020, there's a thread on that, but wanted to start a new one and get some feedback on what the dealer wrote on the paper work.
I have no idea when the oilpump issue started. When I pulled the car out of winter storage about 3 days later I get a low...
And final update..... Got my car back today, all fixed up with the new oilpump. Two weeks and 2 days total. All done under warranty. Work done by the dealers BMW shop.
I did the oil level check when I got home from work, about 45 minute drive, worked perfect.
I was worried about maybe losing...
...in two weeks after it was announced.
I'm sure your case will be different. Special. Unique. One of a kind even.
lol jk I'm sure your oilpump will be ready in two weeks or my name isn't Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the armies of the North, general of the Felix Legions, loyal...
Ya I'm going to just use the OEM lug bolts. Soon as I get my car back I'll make an appointment to get the wheels installed. Still waiting for the oilpump to be replaced, it's been 2 weeks now.
