so i'm an idiot and left my JB4 in when i dropped off my E90 this morning for HPFP recall. i thought i'd be fine leaving it on Map 0, and no big deal since i'm out of warranty.

however, i just got a call from the dealer because when they try to update the software it keeps bombing. they eventually figured out that it's got "some sort of chip". service rep told me that they had to contact BMW for instruction, but the JB4 will definitely have to come out. has anyone had any experience with this? should i trust these guys to rip it out? i'm assuming i have to, because they already have the new pump in.

They will most likely charge you for taking out the tune.

but i think the pump is already in... can i drive it safely w/o the software update for the pump?

[plague]

id take it out yourself if i were you. idk. hpfp threads are more annoying than tune vs tune threads.

holy.........shit...........

you left it in there !?!?!?

[spitfire9200]

wow... try and get your car back asap...

sorry about your luck otherwise.

once the SA gets ahold of it, i'm sure he's called every single person that gets a BMW paycheck letting them know to void any warranty you had, if it even existed to begin with.

even the fat 48 year old mexican chick mopping the bathroom floor will know your warranty is no bueno

I've read software update problems without tunes as well... may not be the JB4... other guys can chime in...

[rdub315]

SA just called me... they tried to do the software upgrade first since it takes the longest. new pump not installed yet. he said that they can put in the new pump tomorrow morning, then i can pick it up, remove JB4 myself, and bring it back for software upgrade. make sense?

if i were you (and if that car had warranty and you gave more than 2 shits about it) i would run over to the dealership RIGHT NOW and tip the SA $100.

then push your box out of his shop, or have it towed out of there, remove the JB4 and then drive it back in.

if all that comes together, i would then give your SA a "bro job".

bro job is when a bro gives a bj to another bro.....

he's actually giving you an opportunity to save your own stupid ass.....

[blacknbean]

there is no way a dealer will ever remove your tune, so you dont have to worry about that. but also the software update fails all the time w/o a tune. if you also left all your other mods on then they probably just assumed you were tuned and took a look.

I had the hpfp recall done about 2-3 weeks ago and now about to install the jb4 tonight for the first time. I shouldn't have any problems should I?

[CasperSYTFU]

threads like this make me want to slam my face into concrete.

+1 on tipping your SA for giving your dumb ass a chance! lol

and gavros... REALLY? Search. a-fuckin-million threads with that covered.

So you don't think I should let them put the new HPFP in yet?

[CasperSYTFU]

^NO

jesus man go get the car, take 30 mins, take it out, and pray they didnt document the tune anyway and bring it back in

this thread isnt even about reliability issues. sooooooooo die in a fire.
in all seriousness though, just search and you'll find answers about reliability with tunes.
yes youre putting more stress on the car so if the HPFP is faulty it will cause it to fail faster.

[gavros247]

Das cool

[Jeff@TopGearSolutions]

Software updates fail all the time even on stock vehicles.

Go to dealership and offer to take it out just to appease them.

I doubt its the JB4.

Some people wildly exaggerate in this thread.
