So Livid Right Now (pics) (Dinan Stage II)

What a day...

I got the car back from the shop today and check out my invoice below. First of all, they didn't replace the fuel pump, which was what I thought the issue was. They did replace an injector. Could one of you experts look at the tech notes and confirm?

I don't really wanna reflash it again if it's just going to throw the damn fuel pump code. In fact, after a cold start I had a longer crank, which I thought was the warning sign.

Second thing is that they charged me $240 saying that I requested the upgrade my software. Requested? I requested they not mess with the software... Does anyone think I can get that money back?

And then, to top it off, when I got in the car, my iPod nano, old one, that I always leave plugged into the USB was gone. A technician stole my iPod! Seriously? What kind of service is that.

So, can I demand a new fuel pump under warranty? I'm attaching a list of codes that were reported, from the diagnostic tool, as well as the invoice. This is really starting to piss me off.

Invoice

umm yup, you are pretty much screwed. three times by my count, too.

Edit: you might want to take your phone number off of there.

Looks like we're down to two things, Dinan should cover the 240 according to their website.

well, thats a little bit better.

Edit: lol, nevermind, read the bottom.

ElliottP · 04-17-2009, 12:44 AM

Theres also 2FBF, which I was told is the HPFP thing, is that right?

335iheLLraiseR · 04-17-2009, 12:48 AM

thats what it looks like, it appears it didnt throw a code when the tech test drove it.

NinetyEight740 · 04-17-2009, 12:50 AM

Fault code 2FBF is the fault code associated with HPP failure...

I drove it hard heading home with no codes but I'm wary that the moment I reflash it, the fuel pump will fault out again. lol.

that sux...

2FBF is what led to replace my fuel pump (twice now). Sucks on the iPod front, I leave my mini in mine all the time too.

I know right! How much is a new fuel pump anyway, and why do they suck so much (rhetorical question)?

Is there some sort of service bulletin/memo I can print off and show my SA? I don't understand why they are reluctant to change it.

335iheLLraiseR · 04-17-2009, 01:02 AM

probably because they want to blame Dinan.

dude, you have to be kidding.

UdubBadger · 04-17-2009, 01:14 AM

wait they charged you for the software upgrade???

I heard everyone was getting those for free (or was at least supposed to)

Fraid not. They've performed that sib 3 times in the last 7 months or so. It helps I remember numbers with great ferocity.

They did and I didn't even ask for it. If you know specifically of anyone not being charged could you me know? Thanks!

UdubBadger · 04-17-2009, 01:25 AM

yeah I saw a thread about it a few weeks ago. V32.1 or something right?

or was it V31.2?

UdubBadger · 04-17-2009, 01:28 AM

ok found it... PM 335iPaul

he is running V32.1 and I don't think he paid for it

Octet · 04-17-2009, 02:13 AM

I'd argue about the so-called $240.00 dollar software upgrade.

That's bullshit man...

shaddai · 04-17-2009, 02:14 AM

I've been reprogrammed twice. There has to be a reason to program, just asking for it results in being charged. Sucks they weren't clear about it. Does your work estimate say what you asked?
