Awesome to know. My new one arrives Thursday. I have to complete the install so I can take a 250mi. trip Friday morning.

Nothing from Fluidampr yet, Kydiesel?

Not yet. They are currently developing OEM parts for a major manufacturer (reason why it's taking so long). I'll repost here in the next couple days when I hear from them.

mongi · 06-22-2016, 07:05 PM

I'ii take one too

Thank goodness for this thread, this is how I diagnosed my 335d before the mechanic did.

101,200 mi

And unfortunately I have no time to wait around for " fluidampr" to manufacture a pulley for us...

ditto on time. so ordered from FCP lifetime warranty... so when this one fails back to fcp it will go!

babyfaby · 06-23-2016, 08:17 PM

I'm in too. Curious about this technology...

kydiesel35 · 06-25-2016, 10:23 AM

Got everyone down, about 72.

After speaking with Fluidampr the ETA is looking like 6 months. Sorry guys but we need to be somewhat patient for this part, I promise the wait will be worth it!

For all of you on the edge of destruction if you decide to replace it no problems. Fluidampr will be waiting for you next time around with a lifetime high performance pulley!

shnaggs · 06-25-2016, 11:05 AM

I might as well add myself to the list, seeing as in 6 months I maybe be in the timeframe for a new one.

Quite a while, but Im not into the high milage yet, so 6 months works for me. Are they starting production soon? Im assuming they are starting soon and 6 months from now they'll be available for order online.

jbenson4 · 06-25-2016, 03:33 PM

Add me to the list also

Ditto. I will be over 100k in less than 6 months and seems like a good maintenance part at that mileage.

babyfaby · 06-26-2016, 08:00 AM

I will also wait, still in

pbdm4k · 07-05-2016, 10:03 AM

My pulley just gave out on my driveway last night.

Pulley let go at 171000km (~105000mi).

Started the car, felt a stumble, lost power steering and got a burning smell.
Turned off the Air Conditioning and I got some power steering back.

Looked at the crankshaft pulley and I could see black bits all around the inside.

Time for a new pulley.

Unfortunately no Fluidamper for me to install on the car...

babyfaby · 07-05-2016, 11:08 AM

What about the delay? Any news from fluidampr?

kydiesel35 · 07-05-2016, 11:20 AM

It's looking like December since the last time I spoke with them. If they update me sooner, I will let everyone know.

They are working on a big OEM project, this is why they are taking so long. We did everything they have asked us, now we just have to be patient with them.

They are watching this thread so trust me, they do understand our frustration.

Nadir Point · 07-05-2016, 12:04 PM

I don't know about any "list," but here is a link to Flidamper's import selection page:

http://www.fluidampr.com/products/import/

That will probably be the best place to look, if and/or when it shows up. It's doubtful re-sellers will stock it, so go to the source for the best price.

I hope we'll be advised first on this thread before they start selling it on their website.

magicbmw · 07-08-2016, 09:04 AM

We would also be interested.keep it posted. Thanks

GaryE30 · 07-08-2016, 09:49 AM

I'm interested also. 67k here so it may be good timing for me (knock on wood it doesn't fail prior to December)

RDA3440 · 07-09-2016, 08:51 AM

I'm in - please put me down for one.

sukutash · 07-11-2016, 11:26 AM
