From what I can tell from the reviews on the FCP site, that pump used to be good. Something changed a couple years ago and they now seem prone to premature failure. Thankfully I get a lifetime warranty, but I still have to absorb the cost of sending the old pump back.

I ordered the amazon climate control buttons, thanks.

Today I went out for a quick errand and the left turn signal did the thing where it flashes quickly. Then 3 seconds later a cop appeared. So I turned around and pulled it into the garage. The rear lights are all new, so I pulled the headlight out, and even that bulb is good. So it's either the front socket or a wire.

I ordered the parts I need to get it perfect for some winter trips. Rear brakes, f/r shock mounts, vanos rebuild, both left door handle carriers. I'll fix the turn signal and continue from there. I made the brake pipes for my E36 and they look good, it was good practice, so I may do those over the weekend finally.

Keeping busy I see.......

Did PMCS today, tires, oil, fluid checks. Went to reopen the hood because I wasn't sure that I had snapped the lid back on the washer reservoir and..... the damn hood latch handle snapped off in my hand!!

Luckily I'm able to use a long o-ring pick to pull the final latch out and a new one will be delivered on the 3rd of September.

PS. The washer reservoir lid was on.

I had some paracord on mine for a couple years until it was on sale at FCP.

Grease that up people it's a very shallow angle requiring way way more force than it should.

I guess I shouldn't have been surprised since it was the original and bei20 years and a fre months old with the high temps and UV, but damnit why did it have to be a part that wasn't in stock?

Changed a fuel injector to fix a lean error code in Bank 1.

I think so. Drove it around for about 30 minutes after the swap and monitored the fuel trims. Everything was looking good. SES light hasn't come back on. I'll give it a few more days before I call it "fixed".

if you replaced 1 and it fixed it you got lucky and I would bet all are right behind it with being dirty. all of them probably need a cleaning

I have used Mr. Injector in Idaho for my M3 cleaning and they came back beautiful, before/after flow numbers new caps and orings.

That reminds me, probably should send the X5 ones out since I got 230K on it now
